John Boyega frequently calls Harrison Ford his best friend in interviews.

But judging by his latest tweet, the love might be a little bit one-sided.

The Star Wars co-stars indulged in some absolute #bants on a flight to Tokyo, with Harrison, 75, shaming his 26-year-old pal for being ‘weak’.

John – who stars in the new film Pacific Rim: Uprising – tweeted: ‘When you’re on a flight struggling with the overhead locker and Harrison calls the flight attendant to help saying “he is weak, please help him” ?? strange days!’

After seeing Boyega’s fight scenes in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, we can vouch that he’s not exactly a weakling – but carry-on luggage can be awkward, OK?!



A passenger on the same flight confirmed that the actors were on the plane together – with Asia Worthen-Bingley filming the pair in first class.

On her Instagram story, she said: ‘My boy John over there with Harrison Ford… he on our same flight.’

And the besties being on the same plane got John’s followers freaking out over a possible spoiler for the next Star Wars film.

Although we may have to pour some cold water on that, as (spoiler) Harrison’s character Han Solo isn’t likely to return after his fate in The Force Awakens.

It could just be that John and Harrison are getting in some BFF time – like we said, Boyega is pretty adamant that he’s best friends with Indiana Jones.

John, who plays Finn in the latest Star Wars films, even took Harrison for a low-key dinner in a Nigerian restaurant in Peckham during some Star Wars promo, with the actors sharing jollof rice and Egusi soup at a small table in 805.

Now all we need is for it to emerge that they wear matching friendship bracelet and the fantasy is complete.
