Damson Idris keeps it real on Chicken Shop Date
F1 star Damson Idris appeared on Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg, bringing charm, quick wit and zero tolerance for method acting labels. As the two sat down for chicken and deadpan banter, Dimoldenberg asked whether Idris was one of those actors who stay in character even when the cameras stop rolling. Without missing a beat, he leaned back and grinned: 'I mean, I'm not a Method actor, like what?' He went on to recall a brief phase during his Snowfall days where he kept his American accent at home until his family stepped in. 'Very quickly they were like, 'Shut up and talk normal,'' he laughed. Idris also opened up about preparing for his role in F1, Apple Studios' upcoming Formula 1 film co-starring Brad Pitt. He plays rookie driver Joshua Pearce, and said he worked closely with producer Lewis Hamilton to get into gear literally. 'He's the coolest guy in the world,' Idris said. 'He taught me how to drive fast.' The 111th episode of Chicken Shop Date proved why the series remains a viral favorite pairing high-profile guests with fast food and painfully awkward questions. Idris handled it all like a pro, balancing comedy with cool confidence. With F1 expected to bring him global recognition, Idris shows no signs of slowing down but he's staying true to himself off-camera. No method, just vibes.
