As fans feast their eyes on Netflix&#039;s One Piece

The &#8216;One Piece&#8217; Actor with an Insatiable Character Faces a Sweet Challenge

One of the most endearing things about the One Piece anime is the Straw Hats
crew’s many eccentricities. Among their many bizarre characteristics is the lead
character, Monkey D. Luffy’s voracious appetite. Just like his character in the
Eiichiro Oda-created manga, Luffy munched down on many edible and inedible
things in Netflix’s recently dropped live-action rendition of the anime. So,
naturally, fans assume that Iñaki Godoy, who plays the young pirate, is just as
much of a foodie as he claims.

But when the Mexican actor sat down with other crew members for a promotion, he
proved himself and his fans wrong. Because among the cast, he was the one who
struggled to eat a particular type of candy the most.


NETFLIX’S ONE PIECE LIVE-ACTION CAST TRIED TO EAT THIS

In a recent post from Netflix’s official One Piece X page, the cast sits down to
take on a unique challenge. It entailed taste-testing a batch of spicy candies
that got progressively spicier. As the level of spice increased, the actors’
faces got increasingly animated. But Iñaki Godoy’s verbal and physical struggle
made it evident that his was the most painful experience of all.

Earlier when the cast sat down for an interview
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/anime-news-cast-of-the-one-piece-live-action-adaptation-pick-their-favorite-character-and-it-is-not-luffy/],
they had a tough time picking their favorite One Piece characters. But this
session posed an even more formidable challenge for the young cast. And the
anime-like animations which were added to the clip made the event all the more
hilarious.

Those who think that the guy who portrays Luffy failing the challenge was
terrible, know that this was not the worst part of all. Not only did Godoy let
down Monkey D. Luffy’s legacy, but he also put his foot in his mouth while doing
so. 


IÑAKI GODOY LEFT EMBARRASSED AS EMILY RUDD EMERGED VICTORIOUS

Even before the challenge began, Godoy claimed that his Mexican roots would give
him a cultural advantage in handling the spiced candy. So, when he miserably
failed to do so, let alone keep a straight face, his embarrassment knew no
bounds. On the other hand, Emily Rudd who plays Nami, handled the spice like a
champ!

The Hunters actress, who once claimed to be born for her One Piece part
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-i-was-born-to-be-nami-says-netflixs-one-piece-live-action-star-emily-rudd/],
proved that she is just as much a badass as her character. Meanwhile, Taz
Skyler, who plays Sanji and Jacob Gibson, who plays Usopp, did a reasonably OK
job. Especially when compared to Godoy’s amusing struggles!

As fans feast their eyes on Netflix's One Piece, its cast feasts on a bizarre delicacy. Their reactions to it are funnier than Luffy's antics.

The 'One Piece' Actor with an Insatiable Character Faces a Sweet Challenge

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many. Away from work, her time spent training her dog, Raven, keeps her going.
