Riz Ahmed | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Riz Ahmed made his return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday evening (August 14) and took the opportunity to perform a special spoken word rendition of his song “Sour Times” in wake of the white supremacist rally that occurred over the weekend in Charlottesville.

The 34-year-old Star Wars star, who is also one-half of the hip-hop duo Swet Shop Boys with Heems, had more to say than just movie chit chat. At the end of his conversation with host Jimmy, Riz asked for a microphone, walked to the performance area, and delivered a three-minute a cappella.

“In light of all the current events that are going on, it just seems like we’re living in really, really divided times and it really hurts,” Riz said, noting that he wrote the “Sour Times” about 10 years ago and that every year he hopes it will become irrelevant, but it just keeps becoming more relevant. “It’s my attempt to get behind the headlines and work out where all this extremism is coming from.”

Riz Ahmed is in talks to play a popular Marvel Comics character in Sony’s upcoming movie Venom!

It is not yet known which character the 34-year-old Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor would play, though he would not portray Venom or the villain Carnage, THR reports.

Ruben Fleischer is directing the film, and Tom Hardy will play the title character.

Sony has stated that Venom will not have a role in the Spider-Man universe but will rather stand on its own.

The character Venom (aka Eddie Brock) was introduced in 1988 and made his first big-screen appearance in Spider-Man 3, played by Topher Grace.

Venom is set to hit theaters on October 5, 2018!

It’s not every day we get to hear the Spice Girls‘ 1996 hit “Wannabe,” interpreted by some of your favorite actors!

Nicole Kidman, Millie Bobby Brown, Milo Ventimiglia, Alexander Skarsgard, James Franco, Riz Ahmed, Keri Russell, Claire Foy, Jodie Comer, Rupert Friend, Johnny Flynn, Sanaa Lathan, and Brit Marling all took part in the re-imagination of the song with the help of W magazine.

And in case you were wondering, Nicole admitted her favorite Spice Girl was Victoria Beckham and Alexander admitted his favorite was Baby Spice (Emma Bunton!)

Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, Riz Ahmed, and Milo Ventimiglia are just some of the TV stars featured in W magazine’s August 2017 issue.

Here’s what they shared with the mag…

Milo, on his first kiss: “It was at my friend’s house. I think this beautiful girl, her name was Michelle. And I remember she walked up and just grabbed me, and pulled me in and kissed me. And I couldn’t leave the couch after that. I was shocked and terrified and in love and feeling something I’d never really felt before. And it was amazing and I wanted it again, but that was my friend Roger’s girl that he was kind of dating. Yeah, I think that one definitely put me on my ass. . . It lasted a long time, the memory of it. You don’t think about those things, and then the question is asked, and you’re right back there in that moment. It’s, Oh, man, I remember everything.”

Nicole, on being very adventurous with food: “I’m one of those people. I could go on Survivor and I wouldn’t be good at the climbing and all of the physical stuff, but I could eat anything. Just so you know. That’s my secret skill. Give me a cockroach, I’ll eat it! Spider, I’ll eat it! You name it, I’ve tried it. I’m adventurous.”

Jennifer Lawrence and Jon Hamm are just two of more than 25 stars who want you to take control of your health and body.

In a new video posted by Lena Dunham‘s online newsletter, Lenny Letter, along with news company NowThis, celebs have joined forces to support Planned Parenthood.

They urge viewers to fight against President Donald Trump‘s proposed health care bill and protect access to health care services by calling their senators.

The video also features Brie Larson, Amy Poehler, Judd Apatow, Spike Jonze, Riz Ahmed, Elisabeth Moss, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Jack Antonoff, Jenny Slate, Suki Waterhouse, activist Gloria Steinem, comedian Retta, and more.

“We are so grateful to have the support of so many artists, many of whom have themselves relied on Planned Parenthood for health care and who understand the importance of speaking out,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, in a statement.

“This support is especially important right now as the Senate is jamming through a bill that would block millions of women from getting birth control and cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood,” she added. “Now is the time to speak out. One in five women in this country rely on Planned Parenthood for care. They will not stay silent as politicians vote to take away their care and their rights.”
