Bo Johnson never thought the Star Wars saga, "The Force Awakens," would change his life but thanks to his resemblance to British actor John Boyega who plays Finn in the film, he now makes a living as a Mexico City street performer.

People now ask to have their picture taken next to 28-year-old Johnson, who works for daily six to seven hour shifts every weekend to pay for his food and lodging expenses, while learning Spanish and enjoying Mexico City's vibrant culture.

Before traveling to Mexico, Chicago-based Johnson, worked in a program to reform juvenile offenders.
