The actor, who plays mysterious villain Kylo Ren in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, admitted to Jimmy Fallon that the entire cast got emotional meeting the iconic character for the first time. 'It was all very technical until I walked into where the costumes were,' the 32-year-old told The Tonight Show host. 'And that's when 'Oh, it's Star Wars!' Everyone got really emotional around Chewbacca,' he said. 'Everyone wanted to hug Chewbacca.' Adam sounded hoarse and appeared to be struggling with losing his voice, but looked sharp in a grey suit jacket and black shirt and jeans as he chatted about The Force Awakens. The actor plays Kylo Ren in the film, which is being directed by JJ Abrams. It will be released in the US on December 18, and has already sold more than $50 million in pre-release tickets.
