Sam Asghari, the 29-year-old actor and fitness trainer, made headlines today as he publicly expressed his support for the ongoing strikes by SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) in Hollywood. Dressed in a black tank top and matching trousers, Asghari took to the streets to join the protest.
While on his way to the strike, Asghari was approached by a paparazzo who inquired about his personal life, particularly his recent divorce from pop sensation Britney Spears. However, Asghari remained focused on the strike and responded, “I’m not here to discuss my personal life.”
In a recent report, it was revealed that Asghari was currently without a job after completing filming for his upcoming project, the Paul Feig-directed comedy film titled “Grand Death Lotto.” In response to this report, Asghari humorously remarked, “That’s the point of this strike. I have the same amount of jobs as Leonardo DiCaprio does,” highlighting the widespread work drought in Hollywood.
He continued, saying, “I hope everything gets resolved very fast so that we can all go back to doing what we love doing the most, which is making art and inspiring people,” before walking away from the camera, emphasizing his dedication to the strike’s cause.
Amidst the uncertainty in his professional life, Sam Asghari filed for divorce from Britney Spears earlier this month and contested their pre-nuptial agreement, seeking financial compensation post-divorce. Meanwhile, Spears is gearing up for the release of her tell-all memoir, “The Woman in Me,” scheduled for October, alongside new music, marking a new chapter in her life.
Asghari’s public support for the strike highlights the broader issues facing the entertainment industry, where many professionals are grappling with job insecurity and labor concerns amid ongoing negotiations. The strike aims to address these issues and ensure a more equitable future for Hollywood’s workers.
