As Star Wars: Episode IX continues principal photography in London, British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has been cast in a dream role for the upcoming film.

The chef and self-professed Star Wars superfan has been cast in a cameo role as a First Order Stormtrooper in the sequel after the filmmakers discovered that he has gone as far to dress up as a Stormtrooper when walking his children to school.
