You’d assume being an enormousStar Wars star would include a number of cool perks. However for Diego Luna, it virtually got here with an arrest report.
Whereas making the rounds for Andor Season 2 and Star Wars occasions like Stat Wars Celebration and Could the 4th, Luna stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Reside to talk concerning the upcoming season. However issues took a hilarious left flip when Kimmel requested him what sort of Star Wars memorabilia he walked away with after filming wrapped.
Luna shared that he walked away with a blaster as a present, and when he went to the airport with it, issues obtained messy. The actor mentioned:
“I went to the airport, and I mentioned, ‘I’m gonna take it with me as a result of if I ship it down… And the work is so practical. It’s so meticulously actual – ‘actual’ for a galaxy far, far-off.
“I used to be stopped in safety in Heathrow [Airport], and the fellows unwrapped the [blaster], and so they have been like, ‘Whoa, what’s that!?’ And I used to be attempting to seize it to say, ‘No, it’s only a prop!’ And everybody [went], ‘No, no, no! Don’t contact it!’”
So there he’s, hungover from a wrap celebration, wanting suspiciously like somebody who possibly shouldn’t be attempting to get a weapon via safety. He then added:
“And one man acknowledges me, however from Narcos, not from Star Wars. He’s like, ‘Whoa, wait a second!’ It was a multitude, and I used to be hungover from the celebration, so I did look form of damaged, let’s put it that means.”
Luna discovered himself attempting to persuade airport safety that this wasn’t a world incident within the making, that it was only a actually well-made film prop. And he needed to pull out all of the receipts.
“They requested me to exit, signal a letter, I needed to present them in my cellphone photos of the character, myself, grabbing the blaster. There’s even toys. They obtained it on the finish. However within the form of means that tells you it was much more painful than it sounds.
However, ultimately, he obtained to maintain the blaster, which is nice! Not less than they didn’t take it away from him. Thast would’ve sucked.
