What Has The Actor Been Up To?

When he’s not giving fans a kiii, Damson Idris is climbing his Hollywood ladder. Last year, the release of the film ‘F1’ and its $630 million box office success gave him a major boost. Earlier this year, Formula 1, in real life, named him its Global Brand Ambassador, the first non-driver to hold that honor. He also appears to be open to reprising his role as Joshua Pearce, though he has not confirmed whether he’s involved in a sequel.

His next major project, ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ drops in January 2027 and stars Hollywood icons like Viola Davis, Regina King, Idris Elba and Cynthia Erivo.

As for his love life, he was spotted in March kissing his once-former girlfriend, Lori Harvey, on a balcony in Paris. However, it’s unclear whether their rekindled romance made it through the spring and summer.
