Speaking at an actors’ round-table for The Hollywood Reporter, the British-Nigerian actor made a shocking confession. Damson Idris claimed to have sought inspiration from the devil for his role in Snowfall, and that he suffered nightmares as a result.
Celebrities‘ success in the entertainment industry has long been associated with doctrines such as esotericism and satanism. While these beliefs are often labelled as myths or conspiracy theories, a recent admission by actor Damson Idris raises questions.
In the popular crime series Snowfall, Idris portrayed the main character Franklin Saint, who is not only a cold-hearted drug lord but also a multimillionaire.
The actor stated to have encountered difficulties in portraying his character during the filming of the final season. Driven by despair, Damson Idris admits to have summoned the devil for help.
Damson Idris: «Come on Devil. Come to me.»
“In this last season I was hitting a block, I was like, ‘Oh I’m not doing it right.“, he said. “I went in the corner and then I was looking at the wall, and I was like, ‘Come on Devil, come on Devil. Come to me, come to me. I had to do something, like, crazy. “
This was a decision Damson Idris apparently regretted, as he was haunted by intense “energy” and nightmares for quite some time The 31-year-old actor says he finally got rid of them through prayer and with the help of his mother.
” [I] had nightmares for a month. I had nightmares every day.“, he said, before continuing. “I just felt that energy, and I had to pray and do all of this stuff to get rid of it. You know, you call your mum up, and you’re like, ‘Bring me back to life.’ That stuff is real, that stuff is really is real.”
