The actor on playing Omar, the head of the terrorist cell in Four Lions.
Chris Morris brilliant, controversy-baiting comedy Four Lions which follows the adventures of a group of hapless wannabe suicide bombers - opens this week, and we strongly recommend it, for its bold, brave and gut-bustingly funny. We sent Chris Hewitt along to the films UK premiere at the Bradford Film Festival recently, where he spoke to Morris, producer Mark Herbert, writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, and most of the Four Lions themselves.

Four Lions was hilarious! There are certain cultural references that many people might not get, esp. Americans, but the film was beautiful executed.

[@Hysteria98]

This guy was so great to watch, his role was fantastic

[@JulesColour]

Don't bat an eye, this actor is really growing on me. Latest and most incredible works include "Sound of Metal", "Nightcrawler"

[@rahulvinalnarayan9743]

[@ChristineInNornia]

I loved Four Lions♥️

[@1GXG]

@MrZainb @MrZainb Its a ride at a leisure/amusement park in Staffordshire U.K , the park is called "Alton Towers" , a rubber boat goes along a channel that has very fast water pumped along it , making it an exciting experience lol .The film "Four Lions" is set in the north of England , many people there are familiar with or have visited "Alton Towers amusement park" . "Rubber Dingy Rapids"

[@akf2000]

@GreenyyMan YES! that's the first thing i thought of, he reminds me so much of Robert Carlyle, a young angry one.

[@sweet4lyfe92]

He looks way better without the beard. Good movie.

[@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfv]

whilst maybe not worth taking as gospel, if only just by means of keeping an open mind, Riz's points on Jihadism are really interesting, I've not heard a similar viewpoint before.

[@TheL94e]

an excellent film , great actors and the humour is fantastic

[@syrusdavirus08]

[@boxy8673]

[@missstormchaser1]

If you're American never watcy this amazing film as you simply will not find it amusing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfv]

@shrunkard i didnt mean to, i'm just a white englishman with very little exposure to islam. It was a point I had not expected, made by someone very much in the public domain, and a strong one. If muslum teachers and preachers agreed, maybe some line between extremism and modern-day islam could be drawn. To the untrained eye, i.e, mine, there isnt an obvious one. I might add that I am very much an atheist and secularist.

[@imposter-982]

olivertopple fucking athiest fuck off

[@pezevenk11]

mahalla brova

[@TheMasterNo6]

[@VioletSpanxx]

Please stick to film, Riz.

[@billyjesus5442]

this film did a great job in dehumanising Muslims via comedy.

[@teamcuba2000]

actually, we christians declared war on the muslims.... lest we forget.
