Iñaki Godoy, the real-life Monkey D. Luffy from theOne PieceLive-Action adaptation, has earned the respect and love of everyOne Piecefan by portraying the future King of the Pirates exactly how he is shown in the anime and manga. Fans were quite happy with Godoy’s performance and loved the series as well.
Godoy’s portrayal of Luffy was so on point that even Eiichiro Oda, the creator of theOne Pieceanime and manga series appreciated him and even stated that he was the perfect individual to play the role of goofy and carefree Luffy. This is truly a big achievement for Godoy, and now fans are eagerly waiting to see how he performs in the second season.
TheOne Piecelive-action actor recently shared his experience about how much he loved the role of Luffy and what he learned from the character in an interview. In addition to that, the actor also explained his dream of playing a negative role like Blackbeard after he has completed his journey as Monkey D. Luffy.
Iñaki Godoy’s Understanding of Monkey D. Luffy as a Character

He stated:
“I had to understand that I’m playing a character who is unlike anything I’ve ever played, someone who is extraordinary, someone who has a capability of making people follow him anywhere he goes, someone who follows his dreams, who trusts his gut, and who doesn’t care what others think…The moving thing about Luffy is that he doesn’t really change too much. Instead, he changes the world around him with his way of being.”
According toIñaki Godoy, Luffy is an extraordinary character who can make people follow him just because of his personality. He is someone who follows his dreams and does not at all care about what people think. Heanalyzed Luffypretty easily and used it to enhance his portrayal of the character.

During the interview, Godoy was asked about his future and he stated that he wanted to film as manyOne Piecelive-action seasons as he possibly could. However, he did explain that he has ambitions to play an unredeemable villain in the future.“Someone who is horrible and who loves being horrible”-because it’s just so different from who he is in real life.
He believes that playing a villainous character like Blackbeard might help him diversify his acting experience and give him a chance to understand the mind of a negative character. For now, he is focused on Luffy and his adventure in the second season ofOne Piecelive-action as the series moves towards the Alabasta saga.
