The 25-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Finn in the 'Star Wars' franchise - has revealed his biggest "rock star" purchase since he's become an international film star has been buying a house for his parents, Abigail and Samson.

He said: "I bought my mum and dad a house! I mean that's a way to do it.

"You know, I also think that's giving back to my king and my queen. So that's what I did."

The London-born star admitted he's experienced a few "pinch me" moments over the last few years.

However, John only really realises how amazing his lifestyle is when he's doing interviews.

He told 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's strange, because you've been working towards the success for so long and to see it manifest, it's a huge blessing.

"But at the same time, a huge responsibility, 'cause not everybody gets this opportunity."

Meanwhile, John recently admitted he wants to make a movie in Nigeria - the home country of his parents.

The actor is a highly sought-after star in Hollywood, but he is yearning to travel to the west African country, where his mother parents grew up, to make a Nollywood film in their honour.

John - who starred in Nigerian film 'Half of a Yellow Sun' in 2013 - recently posted on Twitter: "Doing another movie in Nigeria would be a dream come true. Out of everything achieved this is on my mind!"

John also previously revealed he treated 'Star Wars' legend Harrison Ford to some Nigerian food while they were filming the 2015 hit 'The Force Awakens'.

He said: "Harrison is a really great guy and someone who has a very big legacy. In order to break Harrison into the London culture I took him to the Old Kent Road to have some Nigerian food and he loved it."
