John Boyega is most famously known for his contribution to the Star Wars franchise. With acting skills as daunting as his, no one could ever expect the 31-year-old actor to even make mistakes, let alone fail to enact a scene for a movie. However, the Golden Globe winner unexpectedly proved everyone wrong as he found himself unable to deliver a scene in the movie The Circle (2017).

Talking about the scene and explaining how his co-star in the movie, Emma Watson helped him act out the scene, Boyega said,

“My second to last day, I had a big speech that basically put the whole movie in context for the audience, and I just froze up. I froze up and I forgot the whole thing. I was there with Emma Watson, who was amazing about it. And I found myself in an Acting 101 class, with Emma trying to say, ‘Just remember the lines. What are your motivations?’ And I just couldn’t get it. It was embarrassing.” 

Thanks to the Harry Potter star coaching him to enact the scene, John Boyega found himself to be extremely fortunate for having a co-actor like Emma Watson.
