The recentOne Piece Live-Actionhas been nothing but a major success for Netflix, and the credits at large go to the cast themselves. Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro have played their roles perfectly, becoming fan favorites in the process.
Mackenyu, in particular, has managed to win over the hearts of many fans around the globe alone, with his charm as Zoro as well as his past work in the industry like his role of the protagonist Seiya inKnights of The Zodiac.
However, it looks like Mackenyu’s charm just might not work around one of his former coworkers, as an interview released two years ago on YouTube reveals this big fact about theOne Piece Live-Actionstar.Also Read:2 Characters From Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ Season 1 Luffy Will Never be Able to Beat in a One-on-One Fight

Iwata reveals during the interaction how often he used to walk into the set of the film only to find Mackenyu sleeping on the floor soundly and without any care.

Arata Mackenyu’s Reply To Allegation Of Soundly Sleeping Anywhere
The Roronoa Zoro actor was swift to reply to the allegation of how he would be found sleeping without any care and soundly whenever his co-star walked into the set of the film. He replied that since the time he has taken up the responsibilities of being an actor, he has not been able to get proper sleep ever.
Instead of being held back by this, the actor explained how he adapted to the situation by comforting himself to sleep at any given opportunity he gets, whether it be on the set of the film itself or someplace else.
While it comes off as amusing and something entertaining at first, the fact that Mackenyu had to adapt himself to sleep at any given chance he gets gives the audience a deeper insight into the struggles the cast of their favorite series go through every day.
