ACTOR Daniel Kaluuya, who won an Oscar last year, said success hasn’t stopped him experiencing racism. “The police stop me. They don’t know I’ve got an Oscar, unless I’m carrying it out the [car] window” he said. Kaluuya won the award for playing Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah.
The Camden-born star, 33, also said he is “conflicted” over supporting the England football team, adding that the “toxic” racism after England’s loss in the final of Euro 2020 gave him “a jolt of a reminder” of abuse from growing up, often from parents of his friends. “It’s why we’re never comfortable in the pub,” he said during a chat with footballer Marcus Rashford on US show The Shop.
