Damson Idris, who is getting a lot of praise for his Formula One portrayal, has made it clear that he is not a "method actor." When Damson showed up at Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date, he was asked about his acting practice amid the enthusiastic reception for his part in the movie. After avoiding the topic at first, he finally said, "I'm not a method actor."
During the conversation, the YouTuber asked Damson Idris whether he was one of those actors who remained in character long after the cameras stopped rolling. To this, he instantly replied, 'I mean, I'm not a method actor, like what?"
The actor went on to recall his time shooting for the hit show Snowfall where he maintained his American accent at home until his family intervened. 'Very quickly they were like, 'Shut up and talk normal,'" said Damson.
Further he also opened up about working in F1 and shared that he formed a close relationship with Lewis Hamilton, a renowned F1 driver and the film's producer.
When Damson was asked about what he learned from Hamilton, the actor eagerly replied, 'To drive. He is the coolest guy in the world."
In additions to these conversations, Dimoldenberg also asked the actor whether he keeps a picture of Denzel Washington in his dressing room. Denying the claims, he questioned, 'Why would I? I mean, where is the dressing room?"
According to Variety, F1 has surpassed the collection of Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon ($158 million worldwide) featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott's Napoleon ($221 million) starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Ed Sheeran lookalike fools Indian fans, they call him ‘humble'; real one is rocking Oslo jamming with Sigrid
'Humble' Ed Sheeran, a lookalike of the singer, who gets great reviews for mingling with crowds who don't know he's not real, made an appearance at the Old Trafford Test match. Test Match Special and Barmy Army also registered his presence on their official accounts. The British singing sensation is a genuine fan of Test cricket and has attended matches at Old Trafford. But on Sunday, even as Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja went about resurrecting hopes of a draw on a pitch that has seen many centuries, the crowds managed to entertain themselves posing for selfies with the fake Sheeran. England Cricket, official ECB handle tweeted, 'Always pleasure to have @EdSheetan with us at cricket', as the figure with no tattoos (the biggest giveaway of unauthenticity), dressed in fuschia pink with glares, posed with mostly Indian ethnicity fans. Always a pleasure to have @EdSheeran with us at the cricket 😅 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 The Castle on the Hill, I don't care and Shape of You songmaker is a cricket fan but was performing right that moment with Norwegian star Sigrid in Oslo and his doppelganger did not have tattoos Most in the crowd knew that the redheaded TY Jones, a bonafide doppelganger, is not Ed Sheeran. But selfies don't sing, so even with his hair not messy and the individual not being the Shape of Him, fans happily amused themselves posing with the gallivanting lookalike who was Thinking Out Loud. A celebrity lookalike agency rents out artists, and Jones is one such. He even sported a accreditation. In April, the lookalike turned up at a nightclub but didn't know words to all Sheeran songs, and spent the evening avoiding the real Justin Bieber so as not to be caught. More recently an Arijit Singh lookalike created a parody video of his collaboration with Sheeran, as reported by Express. Sheeran earlier in the year had a Bhangra Collab on the Kapil Sharma show, and the Indian drum beats have reverberated, be it with Wonderwall or a Sheeran single. There was also a Fernando Alonso flukealike immersed in watching the match, who was not aware of his likeness with the F1 driver.
