John Boyega showed Fox 32 News entertainment anchor Jake Hamilton the enormous LEGO porg that LEGO sent him after he said that he hated the "Star Wars" creatures.

In an interview with Hamilton, Boyega showed off all of his "Star Wars" memorabilia from his time on the films, some of which he admits he "lifted" from the set.

"I've even got a porg," Boyega told Hamilton "I've got a lovely porg over here."

"LEGO sent it to me after I tweeted that I hated porgs," Boyega said.

Boyega has previously likened porgs to cockroaches, and told Jimmy Kimmel in 2017 that he "just naturally" dislikes them.

Nevertheless, he told Hamilton he found the funny side when LEGO sent him one.

"And it weighs, like — it's so heavy," Boyea said. "It's a big ass LEGO porg that they gave me. I can't send it back."

Boyega also showed Hamilton some of the other "Star Wars" memorabilia, most of which are placed in his cinema room where he plans to do a marathon of all nine Skywalker saga movies with his sister beginning on May 4th — Star Wars day.

Boyega has Finn's vest, which he wore in the interview, plus Finn's guns that he used in the films, as well as a red sith stormtrooper helmet that "The Force Awakens" and "The Rise of Skywalker" director JJ Abrams gifted him.

"And then there's the helmet, the X-wing helmet," Boyega said. "I was actually cleaning, doing some dusting, and I saw that there and I kind of started, like, tearing up because I miss Oscar [Isaac], I really, really do."
