Damson Idris' most notable project to date (aside from his ongoing romance with Lori Harvey) would have to be his work on FX's Snowfall. Aside from taking on the role of Franklin Saint, he also made waves with his appearance in Donald Glover's Swarm. Though it was short-lived, his steamy sex scene with Chloe Bailey certainly kept the English actor fresh in viewer's finds. Now, to top all of that, Idris has more celebrating to do with the announcement of his casting opposite Brad Pitt in an upcoming original film from Apple.
The news came on Friday (April 7), via Deadline. Joseph Kosinski will be directing, and Idris will reportedly play the role of a race car driver in the F1-oriented story. It's been said that dozens of actors were considered for the coveted part, but ultimately, the 31-year-old won producers over with his charm. "The untitled feature follows Pitt as a racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate," the outlet reports. Not only are fans of Idris celebrating the big news, but his girlfriend made sure to give the actor his flowers too.
Damson Idris' Career Continues to Soar
Reposting an announcement from The Hollywood Reporter on her Instagram Story this weekend, Harvey praised her man with a simple but effective "!!!!!!!" Seeing as the two are currently on the baecation of their dreams together, it's likely she was able to shower him with much more praise during their time soaking up the sun together. Following that, the model also shared a sweet selfie with her man, showing them both sun-kissed and smiling in the tropics.
"Happy Easter 🤍," she wrote in small white font near the bottom of the screen. While some haters previously claimed that Lori Harvey and Damson Idris were lacking chemistry during their red carpet debut, the couple has been proving the opposite to be true in recent weeks.
