Manny Jacinto is still getting used to the public’s love of some of his TV roles — especially when Star Wars fans are still asking him to choke them.

During Cosmopolitan’s video series “Blind Date,” which was posted on Tuesday, August 12, Jacinto, 37, was asked about the most shocking interactions he has had.

“I just did a show called The Acolyte, it’s in the Star Wars world,” he shared. “I obviously have Force power in the show, so sometimes fans will ask me to … choke them.”

Star Wars: The Acolyte, which premiered in June 2024, was set before the events of the Skywalker Saga as a series of murders lead Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae) to reconnect with former pupil Osha (Amandla Stenberg) — and her not-so-dead twin sister, Mae.
