Unrelated: You are going to be a summer blockbuster. When you came to know that you are going to be in F1, let me go. Was it a shock? Was this readiness? How did it like it?
Damson Idris: Dude, I was in Turks and Caikos. So I was on vacation, I was looking at the sunset, and then I got a call: ‘Hey, do you want to be a Formula 1 driver?’ And I lost my mind. I just shouted in the sky. This is a part for which I prayed. I dreamed of this, so be able to fulfill it, and to be at this place today where I believe that we have made a magnificent film, a dream is true.
You mentioned the prayer. You have said that you have revealed this role. In the previous interview, you said that you downloaded the Formula One Game and named your player, Joshua Pierce, which is your character’s name in the film. So do you often appear?
Di: 100%. I understand how powerful we are and with the characters I play, I believe what is mine. So this is really a feeling that I follow. with SnowfallI really wanted to work in states and I loved those types of gangster movies, like Goodlaz, American Gangster And like. And then with this film, I really wanted to play an athlete due to my football background. But I was also ready and ready for a film which I think was about to reach every corner of the world. So when this opportunity came, I knew it was mine and I wanted to do really good work. So hopefully I was proud of everyone.
You were amazing in the film. I am also a big expression person, and it is just about knowing, it’s just sure, and it is really. So between Joshua Pierce and snow falls Franklin, you play the characters who have a lot of aura. So I was thinking, would you say that you have aura?
Di: I have just learned what Abha is on the second day. Do I have aura? I do not know No, I am the worst person to ask. I will never accept that I have aura. I will never accept it, but I don’t know. Okay, yes, I got a little, small, little spraying of aura [laughs],
[My mum] My biggest fan. When the film comes out, Rai which matters the most to me is that.

You recently said that you are the most excited for your mother to watch this film, and when you were on set, she will call to check your safety. What were those calls?
Di: Just shouting her in Yoruba, “You be better safe!” He is my biggest fan. So when the film comes out, you know, Rai which matters the most to me is that.
The film has such a beautiful close relationship with your character, Joshua, her mother. And I know that you mention the time you have. So I was thinking, how does your mother keep you because your star is getting up?
Di: I call him all the time. Every day I call him. On this career [journey] That I am ahead, you know, you spend so much time behind a car alone, in a hotel room alone, you alone on a plane, so someone who can say that I can say that I just remind me of where I have come from, it is so important for me. And my mother is a person.
This is very valuable. I am Ghana, so African parents can be our greatest cheerleaders, but they can also humble us with love. So I was wondering if you have an example of a time that your mother brought you back to Earth with love.
Di: Oh my Gosh, when I started acting for the first time, working in a theater is a reverence in Britain. So I am draining, and my mother will come and look at the plays, and she would be the same, “Yes, the theater is fine, but when are you going East anders Or HooloxBecause my mother likes soap very much. So in my head, quite funny, how did I say to myself, Man, I should be on a screenSo, yes, I think my mother was a great motivator for this. She was overwhelmed by my theater parts.
I am thankful [Black women] Support my work. I can’t wait to go on this journey with me throughout my career. I always want to be proud of black women.
Damson Idris
You have a lot of black female fans. You are with a small heart. What is like that meditation? Is this a new experience that you pay attention to or is it just a kind of background noise?
Di: I do not pay attention to this, but I am grateful that they support my work and they support my aura. I can’t wait to go on this journey with me throughout my career. You know, I always want to be proud of black women. I was raised by one.
Can you give a small message to your black female fans?
Di: Thank you for my grand black women who are supporting me. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t wait to see you F1. I promise you, Joshua has aura [laughs],

Blood and bone baby Is next for you. It is just wrapped. She was a pile cast. You worked there with many members of the diaspora there. What was the most exciting part about being part of that film?
Di: Many of them are my friends whom I have known for so long. In passing this journey, we always say the same thing to each other: “When are we going to work with each other?” So I give my hat a paramount and tip on Jeena Prince-Bightwwood To assemble an artist’s juggling. We spent six months in cape town filming and we just wrapped. Every day, a new heavyweight comes in and simply proves why they exist. You know, from Idris to Viola to Chivatel to Regina to Synthia. I can only say his first name and you know what time it is.
But also that many of us, young actors, find our way and also find our power. Tosin Cole And Amandla stenbergAnd Thus mbeduOur leadership, which I think is such a beautiful actress. I can’t even wait for his career to bloom. Therefore, I feel really blessed. Lashana Lynch, Zaikari Momoh, had a huge energy on the set. You know properly how we felt when we went out PantherHow are we going to feel with this picture. We put everything in it.
