Star Wars actor John Boyega recently apologized for comments he made that seemingly called his co-star Kelly Marie Tran weak.

John Boyega took to Twitter to apologize for the misunderstanding about his comments, explaining that his answer was badly worded and he was only speaking from his own perspective throughout his time playing Finn in Star Wars and not about Kelly Marie Tran. John Boyega also explained that he’s felt strong and weak throughout the course of his career. Take a look at John Boyega’s apology for the Kelly Marie Tran-related comments below.
