John Boyega has revealed he has one special friend who he has told all of the Star Wars film secrets to.

He said there is no contract banning the cast from revealing the plots, but it's more of an unspoken agreement.

The actor wrapped up filming for The Last Jedi more than a year ago, so you can imagine how difficult it's been to keep totally hush, hush.

"They tell you you're not allowed to tell anybody details but everyone has that one person," he said.

John, who plays Finn, said its a "strange existence" trying to keep the plot line a secret.

"I can't lie, when working on these movies of course they tell you you're not allowed to tell anybody details but everyone has that one person," he told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1's Breakfast Show.

"I can't disclose who it is, but I won't lie I tell the person everything, absolutely everything.

"Like 'Hey man, this is what happens in scene five'.

"But apart from that most of my family don't really know or ask."

He told Grimmy how the cast of the film don't actually have to sign anything to say they won't talk, it just goes without saying.

"It's expected," he said.

"It's for the fans, we are kind of working for them and for their entertainment.

He went on to say: "In order to do that we need to secure a level of secrecy so when you go and see it, you're shocked surprised and don't feel like you've wasted £15."

And most Star Wars fans are more than happy to wait it out and play their part in maintaining the secrecy.

"They [fans] never ask me for spoilers," he told Grimmy.

"But I suggest they do because I might let one slip to a lucky fan one day, especially in London because London is home."

Star Wars: The Last Jedi follows on from the 2015 film The Force Awakens and has its European premiere in London on Tuesday.
