LONDON -- One of the perks of being a badass action hero is that you don't have to wake up like normal, boring people do.

John Boyega (a.k.a. Finn from Star Wars: The Force Awakens) is the perfect example of this. On Tuesday, he took to Instagram to show fans what his "morning motivation" sounds like.

Unsurprisingly, the clip went down well.
