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?"

Crime chronicles: Harini Nagendra's best-selling series gets new instalment
An elderly woman lies bleeding out on the floor of her ramshackle hut – an intruder turning her home inside out in search of something she refuses to surrender. As this mysterious killer discovers the object and flees, she clutches a picture of Bengaluru's famous female detective Kaveri. Thrusting it into the hands of a boy who discovers her, she breathes her last with a plea on her lips – find the killer. Into the Leopard's Den (`499; Hachette), the fourth volume of writer Harini Nagendra's best-selling cosy mystery series, Bangalore Detectives Club, dives straight into the tangled knots of this mystery, with the now pregnant 21-year-old detective, Kaveri, determined to unravel them all. This time, the case leads her to the lush coffee plantations of Kodagu, leaving her motley crew of inquisitive neighbour aunty Uma, street urchin Venu and housemaid Anandi to investigate in Bengaluru. 'While staying in the house of coffee plantation owner Lakamma, she learns of stories of a ghost leopard terrorising the place and scaring the workers away. At the same time, an exploitative British plantation owner's life is in danger from multiple attacks,' explains Nagendra. As an ecologist, the author's environmental concerns come to the forefront stronger than in the previous three instalments, addressing colonialism's ecological destruction alongside the murder mystery. 'You get an insight into the time – the British expanded coffee production into the forest a lot but at a huge cost – the exploitation of labour, but also an ecological cost to the landscape,' she explains. The Bengaluru of a century ago comes alive in these pages as the reader is transported to places that are familiar yet different. Nagendra explains her fascination with the period, nestled between two world wars and intimately associated with detective fiction from Agatha Christie's Poirot stories to Miss Marple, Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay's popular Byomkesh Bakshi series, and more. 'The 1920s were a very interesting period in Bengaluru because while the rest of India was actively involved in the independence struggle, the Mysore Maharajas had a mediating influence here. While most books about the period have focused on Bombay, Delhi, and Kolkata, I wanted to talk about what it was like to live in Bengaluru at the time.' she explains.
