John Cho has weighed in on wearing the suits of the space cowboy Spike Spiegel in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of 'Cowboy Bebop'.

The 'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle' star sat down for a 'Vulture' Festival Panel over the weekend to discuss bringing the beloved anime series to life. There, he was asked whether he felt any pressure over playing the iconic Spike. Without missing a beat, he joked he was scared that he was “too sexy” to play the space cowboy. And fans on the Internet seemed to agree.

After this one-liner, Cho turned serious and admitted the pressure was on because fans are so into Spiegel and the franchise.

However, he also revealed that as production continued he calmed down a bit and gradually felt more comfortable taking on the role.

He credits his co-stars (including Mustafa Shakir and Daniella Pineda, who were also on the panel) and the passionate crew members for that. He then said that getting into the character was a huge help, because Spike has a pretty confident attitude.

“[He’s someone] who walks around knowing he can do this,” Cho explained.

Set to debut on the streamer on November 19, 'Cowboy Bebop' is a beloved sci-fi, neo-noir series from Japan that had its debut in 1998. Since then, it had earned fans from all over the world and spawned video games and film adaptations.

The 26 original episodes are set in the year 2071, where a travelling bounty hunter crew chase criminals and bring them in for a reward. In the series, these hunters are called “cowboys,” while “Bebop” is the crew’s specific spaceship name.

Cho's character, Spike Spiegel, is a former hitman who travels with a former officer named Jet Black, an amnesiac con artist named Faye Valentine, and a genetically engineered Corgi named Ein. The main story revolves around Spike and his rival, a man named Vicious.

In the live-action series, Alex Hassell plays Vicious, Shakir plays Jet Black, Pineda plays Faye Valentine, and Elena Satine plays a character named Julia, who has romantic ties with both Spike and Vicious.

Cho described the experience as one of the most challenging of his career.

“It was the most challenging role of my life,” he told 'Hypebeast'.

“I had to express myself physically in a way I haven’t been asked to do before in terms of the action stuff.”
