Sam Asghari has revealed a role in the upcoming thriller “Hot Seat,” alongside the Mad Max star and Kevin Dillion.
Britney Spears’ fiancé, Sam Asghari, has revealed that he is set to star in a movie opposite Hollywood heavyweight Mel Gibson. The actor,27, took to his Instagram Story to share a screenshot of Deadline’s article announcing the casting of him and Kevin Dillon, as he wrote: “Action time.” According to Deadline, Asghari will appear alongside Gibson in the action thriller Hot Seat, which follows an ex-hacker who is forced to break into high-level banks by an anonymous man who has planted a bomb under his office chair. Gibson is set to take on the role of the man tasked with getting into the hazardous building to get the man (to be portrayed by Dillon) off the titular hot seat. It has not been specified what role Asghari will take on in the movie, which will be distributed in the U.S. by Lionsgate company Grindstone Entertainment. In recent weeks, Asghari has shared footage of himself going through stunt, combat, and firearm training on his Instagram account. Iranian-born Asghari has shown his acting skills in recent years, landing roles in TV shows The Family Business and Black Monday, starring Don Cheadle. The new movie role is a major career leap for Asghari, who started out as a personal trainer and was encouraged by his sister to become a model. “I was a very masculine guy—I played football and was in the police academy,” he told Men’s Health in 2018.
