Damson Idris Shines on Chicken Shop Date with Humor and Real Talk
Damson Idris knows how to keep it cool, even with a side of wings and awkward questions. The Snowfall star sat down with Amelia Dimoldenberg for the latest episode of Chicken Shop Date, and it was a mix of charm, honesty, and hilarious one-liners.
Right off the bat, Amelia asked him if he’s one of those actors who live in character off-set. Damson didn’t even flinch. He laughed, leaned back, and said, “I mean, I’m not a Method actor, like what?” His delivery was smooth, and the energy? Effortless.
He then shared a moment from his Snowfall days. For a while, he tried keeping his American accent at home. It didn’t last long. His family shut that down quick. “Very quickly they were like, ‘Shut up and talk normal,’” he said, grinning.
How did Damson prep for the F1 movie?
Damson’s next big project is Apple Studios’ Formula 1 film where he stars alongside Brad Pitt. He plays Joshua Pearce, a rookie driver. That role took real preparation, not just acting chops. And who better to coach him than Lewis Hamilton?
“He’s the coolest guy in the world,” Damson said. “He taught me how to drive fast.” No acting needed there — just straight-up driving lessons from one of the best on the planet.
What makes Damson’s Chicken Shop Date so good?
The show is famous for its deadpan delivery and cringe-worthy questions. But Damson handled all of it like he was made for it. Smooth answers, natural confidence, and zero awkward energy. He knew when to joke, when to get real, and when to let the silence speak.
The episode reminded fans why Damson Idris is so likable. He’s grounded. He’s not out here taking himself too seriously. No method acting labels, no diva behavior. Just wings, wit, and pure vibe.
