Damson Idris Tells Jimmy Fallon What His Mom Thinks Of His Acting: Watch

Damson Idris is perhaps best known for his work on FX’s Snowfall, though he’s been hard at work on plenty of other projects as well lately. Among them is his budding romantic relationship with Lori Harvey, as well as Donald Glover’s Swarm. In the latter, the English actor reportedly appears in just one episode as a love interest to Chloe Bailey, who’s a series regular. She recently revealed that he was able to make her first experience filming a love scene much less awkward, and they even laughed together while a bouncy ball separated their bodies away from the cameras.

With the recent premiere of Snowfall‘s sixth season, as well as the upcoming Amazon Prime Video release, it was the perfect time for Idris to make an appearance on The Tonight Show and catch Jimmy Fallon up on his life. During their chat, the 31-year-old revealed what his mother thinks of his career, sharing that she sometimes has trouble separating his antics on-screen from his real life. “I’m Nigerian, right?” he told the audience last week.

“So my mum, she didn’t know that this wasn’t real. She thought everything was real, right? The first time I had an on-screen kiss she was like, ‘Ah ah! Damsy! How can you cheat on your girlfriend? In front of your family!’” Idris animatedly recalled to Fallon. “So then, I get Franklin Saint, right? He’s obviously a drug dealer. She’s like, ‘Ah ah! So now you are selling cocaine?! In front of the whole world!”

The story elicited plenty of laughter from not only the late-night host but also the audience. Afterward, Fallon brought out a photo of Idris with his mother and other family members at the Snowfall season six premiere, proving she’s obviously embraced his drug-dealing ways. See the heartwarming image for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Kim Kardashian & James Corden Link Up For “Carpool Karaoke”

Throughout her rise to fame, Kim Kardashian has dabbled in various industries, from makeup and beauty to shapewear. Long before she became the successful billionaire businesswoman we know her as today, the reality starlet even tried her hand at music. Unfortunately, that didn’t go in her favour. As Page Six notes, it was 2011 when she released her “Jam (Turn It Up)” single, complete with background vocals from The-Dream.

Many were quick to criticize the 42-year-old’s singing skills, even dubbing her “the worst singer in the reality TV universe.” Since being so brutally slammed in the news, Kardashian has opted to avoid performing in public. However, that’s all about to change. Ahead of James Corden’s late-night show coming to an end, she’ll be joining him to let out some of her favourite songs during his Carpool Karaoke segment.

Kardashian Karaoke

On Thursday (March 2), the California native was photographed with the British comedian in Malibu. They appeared to share plenty of smiles and laughs together as they made a pit stop at a convenience store to try on hats and sunglasses. Kardashian looked ready for spring in a dark pair of distressed jeans worn over a body suit. Her dark hair was perfectly slicked back into a long braid, and she completed her outfit with silver accessories.

Corden also kept it casual, donning a plain black tee with blue jeans and Gucci sneakers. In the past, he’s been joined by guests like Adele, Nicki Minaj, Céline Dion and the Migos. The latter trio went viral for their Carpool Karaoke stint. At the time, they sang Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” with all the right adlibs. It remains unclear when Kardashian’s episode will air. Nevertheless, fans are certainly eager to hear if her vocals have improved at all over the years.

Kim Warms Up on TikTok

Thankfully, the SKIMS founder has her TikTok page to get some practice in, which she’s already been doing. For the most part, she and her daughter North West’s joint feed has been filled with videos of them lipsyncing along to New York rapper Ice Spce lately. In the latest upload, Kim Kardashian is joined by her gal pal La La Anthony to rap “In Ha Mood” via FaceTime. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
