Jordan Stephens has revealed that he turned down an offer to appear in the Star Wars series Andor as bosses wanted him to shave off the locs he was sporting at the time.
The Rizzle Kicks star and actor previously appeared in the Star Wars spin-off Rogue One as Corporal Tonc, a member of the Rebel Alliance, and was invited to reprise the role in a Disney+ series set in the same sci-fi universe.
However, he told Zeteo UK that he wound up saying no to the opportunity due to what was being asked of him, claiming that execs wanted him to “cut my locs off” for “a day” of filming, branding the situation “so ridiculous”.
