Damson Idris on Tyler, the Creator Bubble Baths, Jay Z Sponsoring His Green Card, Dating Lori Harvey

[@Aliogana]

The interviewer is a star at his job. He knocked it out the park. He did his research and has a natural ease conversing. Damson is incredible…so wise, smart and funny. I want him to audition for different genres…indie films, mainstream romcoms and action. He shouldn’t let them typecast him as a black actor who only plays movies about the hood

[@GSOLO_]

He has been in a lot of roles before Franklin Saint.. Snowfall is his first gangster role

[@seanthonyy]

His TEAM is amazing. I know he's not doing all the research himself.

[@angelicamonk7249]

I loved Damson geeking out over good journalism. Speedy and Sean Evans are the best interviewers in the game and they both work for Complex.

[@justhuss616]

forgot about nardwuar

[@msbkay]

i was gonna say ... he reminds me of sean evans ... sean is GOOD!! my first time seeing speedy...im impressed. this is so good.

[@cutiegirlroxx]

Speedy absolutely killed this interview. Loved the chemistry!

[@officialtresosa]

It’s crazy he’s been doing that role so long his American accent come out on accident😂

[@mchachorichard1166]

Noticed that

[@Redd91ful]

literally 😭I had to rewind the beginning 0:35 like “wait-isn’t he British”

[@joyo8776]

Great interview! Humble and funny as always. There should be no slander of this young lovely black man doing his work and minding his business. Let’s lift our people up!

[@camillesimone7]

He has a really beautiful energy about him. Love how balanced he is. This is my first time watching an interview with him and I’m glad it’s with speedy cuz he always asks the best questions

[@user-mz3ni8yu4v]

5:30 That Peckham in him came out for brief moment 😂

[@muwopp2x978]

Man code switched by mistake 😂😂

[@Hesreallhim]

Ayo I didn’t even clock that 😂😂😂

[@TDRE88]

Speedy doing his best narduar impression!!

[@Woo0044]

And Sean evans

[@Somelikeitthrift]

Kinda rude on so many levels

[@TDRE88]

@@Somelikeitthrift why?

[@Woo0044]

Both are great interviewers… why you pressed

[@S0LACE222]

Facts, bro is goated

[@jamaalokolfex4072]

From Peckham to Hollywood man, big up Damson everytime 💯

[@francescasb]

This man Speedy is a sick interviewer, he knows his visitors, he knows how to bounce back of responses and ask the right questions at the right time. Their chemistry was great, interesting interview 👌🏽

[@07sanyia]

Damson being surprised at all these questions is so funny 😅😊

[@solomonkobby8029]

Humble guy! Great chemistry! Damson is a superstar! Kudos Speedy! Love from Accra, Ghana.

[@Tokslaboss]

I truly enjoyed this interview. It was very informative. I’m rooting for him. Can’t wait to see what he does next.

[@jeweleshareynolds101]

The pause after "I love Mcdonalds" 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@TheBookOfSammy]

Love this dude and how committed he is at his craft and how humble and genuine he is. As an Actor, African background like him, darker skinned, it’s people like him that keep me going and give me the energy when I see how progressive and successful they’ve become, particularly after working at it so hard. Always rooting for cats like this and I personally took care of Jay Z and Beyonce at the Annie Premiere and everything he says about JayZ is 1,000,000,000 % ACCURATE. One of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met. You may never see this Damson, but as an Artist, thanks for continuing to expand the field. Props to the interviewer. Absolutely terrific, genuine, disarms the subject with humor and by being diligent in his research. Great work.

[@KxngDrew]

He is definitely well media trained. The way he dodged the question about his relationship being private at 18:18 was just chef’s kiss 🤌🏿

[@FreeBlackConservative6859]

This dude hasn't even gotten started yet! He will be fun to watch in years to come. The UK has also been coming with some fire shows and talent over the years I wanna see him eventually go the UK route. One of my favorite shows on prime is Carnival Row. The talent on that show is fuckn out of this world bru

[@91WriterzStatus]

Great interview!! There's nothing like great research and creating thoughtful questions for the interview.

[@blackshyguy2160]

This is one of my favorite interviews I’ve watched in forever

[@Somelikeitthrift]

I know he’s an actor but he’s amazing at accents and impression. I’m shocked.

[@BC2023NYC]

Fantastic interview. Damson dropping gems and yet very humble. Loving snowfall and hope to see him to continue to thrive after it ends. Speedy was great aswell. Great chemistry between these two n very interesting questions

[@veemajor1721]

This guy is such a great actor that he’s literally NOTHING like Franklin Saint..he’s humble , he’s happy and doesn’t take himself too seriously.

[@SedraKurdi]

from start to end this was incredible - always killin it! i loved his energy and wisdom throughout the video

[@fatimaamerson3232]

Damson is a class act I hope all great things for him in life.

[@Ishante.K]

Love this interview! Great job Speedy❤️. Keep going Damson we are rooting for you!!

[@aybojackson]

YOU. ARE. FIONE

[@Progisthename]

The rapport between these two was awesome! Also, the interviewer was so good, refreshing to see "research" being cool again! lol World-class.

[@thatisz9370]

He really is a great interviewer. Great research he puts in.

[@eduardoalvarez1921]

Damnson Idris is in my opinion is the probably the most underrated actor in tv right now. He's amazing actor on a knarly good show!!!

[@iamladyblack1188]

Great interview! I’ve been watching Speedy for a long time!!! I love that he continues to get better and better!!! Damson is adorable! Handsome, talented and humble. Looking forward to watching him work!!!

Should’ve asked him how Chloe’s cheek felt during that one scene

[@blockeduser3170]

A rarity to have a journalist do the research and know the artist as well as being able to speak on that research and still make that artist feel comfortable to elaborate on it is amazing. A great and insightful interview.

[@NathanSymons917]

One of the best interviews I’ve watched, well done 👏

[@Ayomari1993]

Five years ago I had no clue who dude was. Now he one of my favorite actors. Keep grinding NijaBoi

[@shalemamcghee1542]

Thumbs up just for knowing "new" info that other outlets didn't know and giving us a fresh new insight into D.I.

[@jeweleshareynolds101]

Damson's energy is so beautiful 🌸

[@jykirachanelle2599]

I love how much he talks about hisFULLCIRCLE moments! he's so humble and aware🙌

[@jkidz6410]

This was a delightful and very insightful interview. I liked Snowfall immediately and fell in love with the story line. Once I realized it was the baby of John Singleton, I binged the first 3 seasons😍. Well done young man, remarkable interview!❤

[@suri042]

This interview was Phenomenal!!

[@garishanth]

Damson is just getting started. 🔥

[@Srtzzz701]

[@kimisung9333]

This was a GREAT interview! Thank you

[@yellaninja4120]

They gotta get this man to play a DC or Marvel character. Maybe a Static Shock or a Young Blade.

[@shyhayes]

He would be great as static shock.

[@popcorn36..]

The interviewer did his research times 10 👏👏👏👏good job and great interview.

Damson Idris is an amazing actor and amazing person in general

[@Siraphro]

Good interview!

[@Similee]

Giving black folks a chance to succeed or fail. I love it. More opportunity through what you can do.

[@dennisbatsile346]

i love speedy sm. he is great

[@johnQrl]

He left the hood at 10 which was huge blessing. At 10 it easy to forget about the hood as you don't really experience the hood as a prepubescent.

[@exzy_raw]

He didn’t essentially leave the hood, Wooly Road is pretty much still the hood; just 10-15min journey from Peckham

[@jeweleshareynolds101]

I just love the fact that Speedy is getting the same reaction from Damson like celebrities give Nardwuar.. Thorough research sets you up for great interviews!

[@jabonwilson]

I hope you gave your Airbnb host 5 stars.

[@RosaGonzalez-qf9hf]

Hes gonna be a star!! So handsome!!♥️😊🙏
