Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!" - บันเทิง

Little known fact: Riz Ahmed hurt his back carrying this whole interview.
Helyati Mohamad daaaaang that burn 😂
Not really a burn... The better the interviewer the less they have to say to get their guest talking
And the two massive chips on his shoulders.
Dalamanza Colbert is not a great interviewer, not even a good one. Whenever he has someone new on the show, who is confident and eloquent, he either gets defensive or doesn’t say much.
Seth Meyers is a different story.
Yep, he makes those weird snide remarks that your uncle who doesn’t like the fact that you’re doing so well makes.
As a white British male, I'm proud of our British White/Asian/African/Eastern actors, teachers, doctors and entertainers - I'm Catholic and it's great to see a British Muslim get support.
Aaaaw bless thank you x
Danny Zuko that’s very nice of you to say
Pagani Zonda Oh hi there Donald Trump!
Danny Zuko
Thankyou
Pagani Zonda Whose identity is being stolen? Where's the restriction on religion? Whose wives and kids are being taken? I don't see any major tax increases and every Muslim I've met has been friendly, though that is a fairly small number.
In the UK and most of the world, Asian means someone from Asia. Not sure why this is a tough concept for people in the US. Look at a map perhaps?
I'll be honest, from up North Asian doesnt mean Muslim countries so i was shocked when he said it. This is 3 years old, still hasnt caught on up north.
@@IronResistance Really? I'm from Glasgow and people know Asia refers to Muslim countries. Most Muslims are from Asia after all like Indonesia for example.
Finally someone with some common sense.
@@IronResistance growing in London for me. Asian usually refers to South Asian and to an extent West Asians (Leventine Arabs, Gulf Arabs, Iranians, Turks, etc). People of thr far east were usually called Oriental in my area. Even on Google if I write British Asian boxer for example Naseem Hamed (Yemeni) and Amir Khan (Pakistani) would be the top answers. So thats what Asian means to me growing up.
To be honest most of this comes from ignorance in the US. We categorize most ideas of culture based on the food that got popular in the US first. To my aging father Asian means Chinese, all middle easterners are Indian which also confuses him because he sometimes still calls Native Americans Indians. So growing up in the 50s didn't help his world geography. Also it's starting to get a little better in some areas, but most Americans call people Middle Easterners or Asian and don't have much idea of what separates them.
I feel like Stephen wasn't really into Riz, he just repeated standard script while Riz was trying to be as friendly as he could. When Riz said "Well you should have done your research", Stephen really should have because Riz has been in the industry for a long time and some top rated films as well.
Ditto for the good ol' subtitler!
Everyone in the UK know him as Brother Omar
lol
Man now as you said it. Really didnt think of that movie. Good for him
Idk who he even is lol
I know him best for his role in Ill manors
+Callum Jay
Fucking same
People need to watch this lad in Four Lions
that's what I thought too!
Rubber dinghy rapids bro...
That film is absolutely brilliant!
Four Lions is the best
preach!
It's almost embarrassing how unprepared Colbert was for this.
i find many american chat show hosts behave the same way-they get star struck and start asking silly questions
Lol he's joking lol..of course he knew
that was cringey as
Its awkward how this is all about race and origin. Dude, he's a British actor, that's the end of it, now talk about the films and shit.
@@ElZilchoYo It's not really awkward at all - it's part of his identity. You could always just not watch his videos and tune into someone more vanilla like Chris Pratt. That way you can not have to hear about world issues or anything of substance?
"I didnt know you a year ago." "I didnt know you were British until you started talking" man this is offending. He really should've done his research.
It's his sense of humor
David R. Nelson it’s his ignorance
@@irenegriffiths242 he was making a joke in his usual dry sense of humor. That you are clueless is the issue.
@@lemortedbrian6070 Um... jump to 5:35 and maybe rethink your comment? It was a joke.
It was a joke and he himself laughed at it along with the crowd. Also earlier in the interview Colbert mentioned his family was originally from Pakistan but he was born and raised in London. I feel like that proves they did their research.
"This is what British looks like" - which is exactly the point. Amen, brother.
😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
I'm mixed British, I live in a rural area, every time i go somewhere, they wana know where you came from? I tell them I'm from UK, than they are like...No where do you really come from? Where does your family came from? ...🙄
Ameen 😈(🤣)
Very well spoken
Yes this is exactly what I observed about Britain, they don't seem to make distinctions about race and don't self-segregate themselves by referring to themselves as "Pakistani-British" or "Nigerian-British". When I see non-white British on TV, I automatically see them simply as British without distinguishing themselves of their race or country of origin. Whereas Americans tend to make clear distinctions of themselves by constantly referring to themselves as "Asian-Americans" and "African-Americans". I get the feeling of clear cultural and racial divide amongst Americans.
They even intermingle and intermarry with one another. There are a lot of known examples of mixed-race marriages between Brits of different colors, be it former spouses Dawn French & Lenny Henry, or Charlie Brooker & Konnie Huq. Of course, that doesn't mean prejudices don't exist, as evidence by the white pro-Brexitters there, from Boris Johnson onwards.
It's because you can actually be proud of being British. I can't be proud of being American, so I call myself Asian. Also, Asians have been in contact with the British for over400 years so they are not as foreign to us as Americans are
TBH I find it a bit weird to be proud of the place where you happen to be born by complete coincidence.
that's the main reason I don't want to live in USA. And I'm white.
Right?! "I'm proud to have been born in the US"
lol why have pride in something you had no control over, it's not like you had a choice
I love the subtle shade he's been throwing at Colbert throughout the entire interview.
Very British!
Can u give me an example pls
@@kod999 I actually don't think he is throwing shade, subtle or otherwise. He's just British.
I think Stephen was falling back on his regular interview skills since he didn't know this guy at all. He asked questions to get to know him. Riz was not sure of him, either. Neither was sure when the other was joking. Made it a little uncomfortable to watch.
Normally I like Stephen but this interview felt very disrespectful. Did he do any research on his guest? The interview felt very dismissive...
Agree 100%
@@TriciaN-em5sr good
The subtitlers were even more unprepared, then!
Proud of my dude came a long way from Four Lions to his own TV show and Rogue one...Keep up the good work brother
Four lions was the shit

But try not to blow anything up.

+RobUK73 jealousy
Farzana S haha, sounds more like he's jealous of me. Thats why he's desperately trying to convince himself 'he's what Britain looks like'
+RobUK73 yes.. he's jealous of an Internet troll 😂
I've never understood why Americans have the whole African-American thing. As a Brit, if you have a British passport you're a Brit. That's it. Britain isn't white, it's a multicultural nation(s). Labeling someone British-Pakistani just seems like another unnecessary division to me.
I feel the same !!! I also told some of the racists this !Some of you guys are stupid , when you are born and raised in a country plus have a citizenship how can you not connect with a country like the uk , how can you not consider yourself british? How can you not feel you are ,British when you call uk your home , you guys are cruel ! Americans from many ethnic origins consider themselves Americans , same as Australians , why are you making a big racist idea over him identifying himself as British ? He was born ana raised in the U.K. , he calls the uk home ,he has a British accent more then most English people , he has uk citizenship , but based on his colour or ethnic origin he can't be British ? He is what he feels ! This is one of the reasons some Muslims never integrate to the west because westerners will always remind them about their ancestry origin and always put them down about it , they will never ever let them feel feel proud to be a westerner Australian:American/British ! Shame on you people ! He is British ! However Anglo Saxon is an ethnicity !! He can still be British , his origin is not Anglo Saxon but he is now born and raised in the U.K. Which means he became a British man
Native British people are white
Lewis Taylor and native west and south Africans are black but it sure as fuck never stopped your colonialism or apartheid
+Drunk Cat Phil - There are many American history books. Read one.
Common Sense mate that's just Bullshit. Every country the UK tries to "Help" they make it worse. You wonder why there are so many immigrants coming to the UK ask your government, you want them to stop coming over? Well if your country/government stopped throwing bombs over their country then maybe they wouldn't have left.
the way he said "pakistani" perfect 👌😍👌
Yess
YESSS
Use a u instead of the I. Pukkistan

Do you mean Riz or Stephen?
This man is a brilliant actor. One of the best in his age group. Can't wait to follow his career.
I think he was excellent in The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Jason Bourne, though I would have liked his role in Jason Bourne to be longer..
Four Lions, Road to Guantanamo and Reluctant Fundamentalist are his best movies. Check them out!
Don't forget Nightcrawler! Thats when I first saw him. He was absolutely amazing.
he was dope. I feel like that movie jump started his career in US.
what he should be best know for was his brilliant performance in Nightcrawler along with Jake Gyllenhaal....biggest oscars snub in last few years....
No kidding! Is Steven saying he didn't watch it?
Oh so he was that guy..just realized
both he and Jake deserved oscar...at least a nomination for both...what a movie it was
his work in The night of is better...and he's the star of that show
oh yea i just realized he was the poor camera guy
So smart and witty. Does Britain proud. I relate. It's so hard when people judge you for your look damn

four lions is one of the funniest movies I've watched, everybody needs to watch that film.
Rubber dingy rapidss broo
Riz was method acting in that role if his latest hate filled video is anything to go by.
@@muhammadessa749 fast track bro
@@muhammadessa749 you calling me a whammer?
he is so right about american's and how they perceive asians here, they only think of asian as being chinese, japanese etc not indian or pakistani etc.
Socially, United Statsians identity Asians differently from Muslims. They're like two separate groups in their mindset.
when you say Pakistani in the US, we (not including me because I know better) think of "Middle East" when Pakistan is defiantly Asian.
my favorite singer is English and his family is from Pakistan, and he calls himself Asian, and when he said one time "I'd like to thank my mum and dad for making me Asian" people got so confused, assuming he was Arabic or something :/
I'm not talking in a religious sense, I mean geographically. I'm from India but I grew up in America and ever since I can remember people here, for some reason do not perceive Indians as being Asian, it's something I have encountered personally. That's why I was agreeing with Riz's statement
just curious, who's the singer?
+khansahb same wanna know aswell
Him in Four Lions is literally the best thing ever! That film to this day makes me cry with laughter 😂😂
Lau La thank you for the review, will look for and watch Four Lions.
For me He’s famous cos he killed a sheep
Damn I knew he looked familiar to me! I have seen that movie like 10 times!

This guy deserves all these big film roles. Great actor and based on this conversation, an excellent person too. As someone who has lived in both Canada, the UK and America, his statement on "This is what British looks like" is spot on.
Wish him the best!
As a guy who's name is Rizwaan Ahmed., it feels so weird every time I hear someone say his name

So nice to see a fellow Pakistani on the big screen, bonus that he's a great actor and seems like a genuine guy 🙌🏻

I thought He said He was British as are all people born in Great Britain.
+steven mazur what is wrong with you people? He's ethnically Pakistani, really nice to see a Pakistani actor on the big screen because it's rare. Nationally he is British and proud of it, he's a British Pakistani, how hard is that to grasp? 😂
he was amazing in Nightcrawler alongside Jake Gyllenhaal ! Really great!
my thoughts exactly
Oh so true ,due to Gyllenhaal one tends to forget all the others ,even Bill Paxton!
Brilliant movie....
This guy is British? 😂 Just goes to show that British actors playing as Americans are better than the other way around
better as brother omar
As a white British person- a lot of these comments are just vile and pure bile. it's embarrassing reading them. To the racist people typing this shite out- try (it's probably tough as you seem to lack empathy and compassion) and imagine yourself as a non white British/American person who is proud of being British/American and imagine how upsetting it must be reading this stuff. It's horrible.
I'm a white British person and think that you're pathetic not to want to defend your country's history and native population.
I love the irony of how Britain was one of the main imperialist countries invading others to steal their resources and fuck their women and now when other races, ethnicity, etc come to England just for a better life ppl get butt hurt.
+Jake Deane Do you really think the British advanced India and respected Indians? The British were the white saviours? Is this because this is what history books in Britain teach children about Imperialism and colonialism ? or just your point of view ?
Indians view it as an occupation which ruined India to enrich Britain .Lots of Indians were tortured and killed. Indians were constantly told that they had to obey their white masters who were ofcourse , saving and advancing them .
Do speak to people from the subcontinent or Africa who were under British rule and ask them how the British 'saved ' them.
+Jake Deane, The British and other Western Imperialists were inherently incapable of helping others. I come from a family of high ranking noblemen, close friends with the richest man in the world, and even we were disrespected by the lowly Brits. The Western Imperialists only got that land through deception and massacre. You would see their signs, in OUR lands, saying "No Dogs or Indians allowed"...The filthy Imperialists.
Western Imperialism was and is worse than all other imperialism. Comparing it to the great Islamic conquests in apples and oranges.
Anywhere the Muslims touched, we turned into Gold. We went to Egypt, and built the first Hospital there. We went to Persia, and built Bayt al Hikma. We went to Morocco, and our women built the first university. We Muslims naturally had the Golden touch.
On the other hand, look at western Imperialists. Ravaging everywhere they went, Dividing the people, causing wars and destruction in pursuit of money. All of the world's problems today are the direct results of Western Imperialism. The Western Imperialists turned anywhere they touched into filth. Western Imperialists were inherently Incapable of helping others.
The Muslim Comb ye, but now look at egypt...it's a shithole
Love this man. He's effortlessly cool.
Been familiar with only two works of Riz Ahmed, Nightcrawler & The Night Of but first time watching an interview. What an impressive guy, funny and he's british! #mindblown

I couldn’t imagine a UK talk show host being so dis-respectful and subtly racist towards their guests. In the US it seems to be pretty normal
Pep you wouldn’t understand it even when it’s in front of you.
Pierce morgan tries his best
j d he’s like Fox News. We wouldn’t have been shocked if these condescending/racist questions were asked by Fox News. We are shocked they were asked by a « progressive » host show.
Colbert was bring a covert racist. Piers Morgan does that too. Both suck.
@@jd-uz1ln I was gonna say that lol
He is very quick and personable. Stephen tried to get serious and Riz was able to keep it light and enjoyable.
I remember him from Nightcrawler
Oh hell yeah, I completely forgot
Bro I remember him from four lions and that was og shit
I remember him from Dead Set.
I watched night crawler after seeing the night of, great movie
oh shit.... thanks for the reminder, he did amazing in that movie too lol
its okay Mr. Ahmed...most of us Americans need an atlas...we're not so good at that whole geography thing
I can locate any country on the map
***** I said most...kudos to you sir
I think most people around the world would have a hard time, not just Americans
adrian duran naahh its just americans
including you, ya fuck. you have no idea where anything is.
Why is he so handsome? I'm struggling to concentrate 😂😂💀
coz he is pakistani 😜😜
Are you also attracted to frogs and tortoises? That might answer your question.
Caesar Vespasian why? Do you look like a frog?
what? hahahaha
Junubia bad taste.
He’s actually so sociable and funny and most talk show hosts don’t just know how to react to him cause he’s so real and unpredictable
Can I just say. I'm a Londoner and I'm also Bangladeshi which is next to Pakistan. There are a lot of people like us who were born in London. We are often called Asian. One thing Mr Riz forgot to mention. In London we are so diversed and friendly towards each other. Rascim and discrimination is rare. And we accept every faith and religion. In the rare occasion someone hates on a muslim, gay or women. You will always see someone who will stick up for you because we don't have any place for that kind of hate in London. Unlike America where there is a significant amount who hate Muslims Gays Blacks and still at the stage of discriminating Women. Hopefully the younger generation can see past that.
Well said
👋
Well said. Sadly, racist incidents have been on the rise in Britain since the EU Referendum, thanks mainly to the rhetoric of the Leave campaign, but as BlueLitonian says, thankfully there are even more people of all ethnicities who will stand up to racist bullies.
Bangladesh isn't next to Pakistan.
+Marcus Aldridge I think he means more culturally rather than geographically although it is only split up by 1 countrie
He gets 'randomly selected' for extra searches? *Every time?* In America? Land of the 'free if you look like me'!?! Nooooooooooo! **insert sarcastic eye roll here**
Lol my family was randomly selected for a security scan on 3 of the 4 disney world kingdoms in my vacation in orlando back in May .. I found it really funny tho no hard felling lol
***** Perhaps people targeted due to demographic, get tired of being treated like criminals?
Do you have many peers in your life that look Muslim?
I've heard many stories from personal family friends saying how their family gets stopped at the airport (males because they have a beard and females because they wear a hijab). My Muslim Arab friend has told me how she's always being stopped at the airport because her mom wears a hijab. My teacher, who is Italian with green eyes and doesn't look Arab at all, has been stopped at the airport because her husband looks middle eastern. Another teacher of mine has a friend named "Dwayne" who looks middle eastern and isn't but still gets stopped because of the way he looks. Believe it or not, many people who look Muslim or have Muslim names get randomly selected...practically every time they're heading onto a flight. Even in the land of the free, unfortunately.
or by being brown
monokhem lol what? Most Muslims in America definitely are brown. I know most brown people aren't Muslim, but a lot of dumbasses (including TSA fucks) don't have any ability to tell the difference due to extreme ignorance.
Riz didn't like the question about British religion and why would he? I guess he's there to promote a show or shows. I can tell that he was thinking like " not this again"
Bo Pick haraami insaan benchaut. Cao ni ma!
Yep, when asked about what's its like being a Muslim in Britain compared to America, he completely ignored the question. I don't blame him bc the topic was about being Asian and then somehow "Muslim" flew into it as if it's a synonym for being Asian.
@@Sam-ng3of I mean he has built his career on going on about that....
My first exposure to him was through that Tumblr post of his tweet about being "randomly" searched with two other Mr. Ahmeds and starting a boy band with them... still waiting on Randomly Searching 4 U, guys, cmon
(Obviously Rogue One meant putting that project on the back burner, but.......)
ramywiles what??? I do remember that post but i had no clue that was him!!! (tbqh i've only known of him since Rogue One) :/
lol I remember that post as well :)
Mr.Ahmed, I'm setting up the Kickstarter page now. Please tell me what to give for the $ 5-0 level buy-in, because that needs to be a thing and I think we've established, I'm not in charge of the "say hilarious sh*t" department.
Thank you in advance for giving me a life dream again ... it's been kind of rough since 2016.

Lol, look at that dislikes already. trump supporters are early. I wonder if this is going to be a repeat of the Ibtihaj Muhammad video. It seems you can't even be Muslim and breath without people attacking you, even on Colbert's channel, but I'm hoping that my fellow Colbert fans are more opened minded even if this is the internet.
lol dude calm down nobody is going to bully your friend
They probably thought his terrorist acting in four lions was real
I've been wondering about that. What do they do with nuns in France? Are they allowed to wear a wimple?
Native means you're born there. He was born in the UK, so he's a UK native. So there y'are.
Donald Trump being attacked and his policies being made up by talk show hosts shows how petty and desperate the liberal imbeciles are getting.

Sexism is, not race.
@@ZoeSummers1701A The offender's thought process is the same. The problem arises from the same feeling, it's the phobia of people who are or look different from you. It translates to the fear of the unknown, which ultimately leads to ignorance. It can be xenophobia, racism, sexism, etc... They all stem from that same destructive and unnatural fear of the unknown.
Riz is a racist.
racism is word to justify white genocide.everithing that is white is racist.if in india everyone is brown, thats not problem.only problem is if country is white and christian.
Thanks for uploading full interviews. Really appreciate it!
Riz seems to have a genuinely affable personality. He comes off as quite charming yet modest here. I'm definitely going to seek out more interviews & watch his films.

Just a gentle reminder to those saying he is not British, he's 'misappropriating English culture', etc, where the fuck do you think tea comes from?
Certainly not the UK. Ponder on that for a while, dear degenerates. Did it cross your mind that whatever 'Britain' is it is a culture, a history, a society formed on colonialism, in the influence of foreign people and cultures. That's what makes Britain Britain. Do you think that we would ever have become the greatest country on Earth (not now, LOL, I'm talking in the 18th/18th cent) if we hadn't sailed the seas and opened our doors?
Now I'm not saying I'm proud of our colonialism, but that's the point. Do you really have the audacity to resent the presence of non-whites in our country when our success literally lies on the back of invading and stealing from other countries? And the later immigration of Europeans and Asians, you actually resent that? Do you resent people coming over here, you wish you were over there stealing from them while closing our doors to them?
Natalie Di Why is every other country allowed an indigenous culture and identity but we aren't ?
Trajan Its because the culture that you celebrate takes a lot from other cultures. English culture is a mix of ideas from its colonial settlements. Real English culture would be Anglo Saxon and Britons.
TheOneIndian What do you think I'm talking about when say indigenous culture ? I'm talking about the culture of the union that has stood 300 years and the component countries that have stood for over a thousand. Culture and customs and traditions that are very real, and very unique to our island. Why aren't we allowed to celebrate it and hold it up as paramount when literally every other country in the world is allowed to do the same? Complete post-modernist nonsense. I'm not talking about joe really care about a lot of the stuff that has entered the country in the last half century - curry etc. It's great but it's not indigenous. British culture. I'm talking the traditions and institutions that date back to the founding of our nation, that despite invasions and wars still stand,
Natalie Di Britain has got no link to a race. It is a multicultural country
Hassan Mughal British does have a link to an ethnicity, "race" is a flimsy term.
can't wait to see more of this guy. he absolutely killed it in The Night Of. this guy has a bright future ahead of him.
Whut bout the rubber dingy rapids bro?
Wow! I never thought I'd see the day, a brown Muslim guy gets applauded in an American chat show, especially in this day and age. Well done America, well done! 👍🏽
LOL Those aren't real Americans, they are anti-american leftist traitors who voted for Hillary. But the difference between the greatness of America and the disgrace of Muslim countries is that America allows such dissent.
What? Seriously? He's a human being? You're happy that he can be applauded just because he's muslim? How low is the bar if that's worthy of celebration? "omg, we're so good, we applauded that actor even though he's muslim"
Thanks spider man
Caesar Vespasian my prayers are with you, Caesar.
Peter Parker 1 year later but have you ever heard of Muhammad Ali?
This is What my Britain Looks Like...Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Oyelowo, Naomie Harris, Colin Salmond, David Harewood, Adrian Lester, Dev Patel and Riz Ahmed. Big up all British Asians and Black Britons.
Oh shut the fuck up, you fucking imbecile.
Racist remark
Daniel Kaluuya, Lennie James, Gemma Chan, Benedict Wong, Thandie Newton
Hahahahhahhhahhhahhaha..... Thanks for the laugh, mate!
Gang gang gang. 😂 banter but I'm proud for real.
He was so good in the Reluctant Fundamentalist - one of the only book/movie adaptations that I actually like!
Totally agreed!
This is what British looks like. We do look like that. And we are all mixed and we are the perfect blend. We are the perfect whisky or cup of tea ;)
If your not white your not British.
stay white stay cultural
+Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi How can you say that? Are you British? I'm guessing no.
Jay No, british is actually an ethnicity.
K M8 British isn't an ethnic reference. It's a nationality. For instance, someone of any ethnic background can be British if England is his/her country of origin
Thanks for sharing. Like Stephen, Riz just oozes talent.
Thanks to England for the opportunity
i really appreciate colbert interviewing. he's still charming without trying too hard. and when he srews up or gets corrected he accepts this and does his best to correct what he did wrong while still doing so smoothly. just a good interview. cant wait to see more
condescension? you need to clear your eyes.
Absolutely!!
Yeah, Jennifer, that is true
@@satellite964 thanks
i don't get why this guy is gettin hate in the comments
Because he's brown. And more interesting than them. Pretty much it.
+K M8 No. YOU'RE the pathetic one.
Trump, that's why
+Khaji Dha Too one type of ethnicity*
K M8 By your logic all sterotupes are true and everyone from that ethnicity does do all the sterotypes associated with that ethnicity. So all black people are robbers? And all white people are horrible racists?
if he really dropped those lines impromptu, he is legit ...
"I did not know that you were English until you started talking."
That was cringe as hell from Stephen. A good interviewer would've done some research on the guest you're inviting to your show.
And borderline racist.
@@Maliilse75 he meant because he speaks with an American accent in movies.
This interview so good, i hv to watch it TWICE!
Why is everyone crying about him being a British Pakistani? It's 2016, accept diversity
ITS THE CURRENT YEAR
+StoneUnturner like a handful of taxi drivers represents all brit Pakistanis or Cyril Smith and Jim'll fix it represents white society?
@@kamalmortoza9888 a 'handful'. Sure...
@Pep Pakistan already has diversity
What's funny though is that Indo-Iranian languages share a common linguistic origin with English (and Germanic).
The amount of similarities or differences (and diversity) is not really the root for racism, but people being tribal. You can speak the same language, have a similar culture and still be outcast for one tiny thing.
He's so crazy attractive. Wonderful (and frightening) in Winterbottom's "Trishna".
This young man is brilliant and mesmerizing in HBO's mini series "The Night Of." In fact the whole project is brilliant.
That face, seriously swoon!!! Glad to see him having a similar year that others in his acting generation (Vikander, D. Gleeson, O. Isaac) had last year. He deserves it! He handled this interview well, love his cra, very British sense of humor.
this guy is a beast of an actor. so good
Everyone pls watch "four lions". He was a terrorist in the film and blew himself up in a fucking boots chemist in hounor of his friend Waj, who thought a chicken was a bunny 💕
Honour
That's fucking scene when they blow up a sheep by accident 😂😂😂😂
Fuck mini babybels!!! Best movie lol
and you told us the whole story whats the point of watching then
Why you gotta go there This was more of a synopsis than a spoiler. I haven't said much.
This guy is a phenomenal actor
I've seen him in Four Lions, can't wait to watch this series now. He'as great.
He's best known for four lions surely
That was amazing.
not in USA
To U.K people
You Americans need to go watch it, it is an excellent film.
Four Lions is very much a cult film.
So so proud of Him. Come such a long way. It's pretty incredible.

Brilliant interview. He's a great actor and will have an Oscar within 5 years.
You weren't wrong!
Very nice interview Riz looks down to earth guy no Ego or attitude very talented chap.. you go man
He was also very good in Nightcrawler. First time I noticed him. Looked him up after. Shocked to learn he was British. His American accent is flawless.
😍😍😍😍 He is oddly handsome. ❤️💜❤️
Love Riz Ahmed such a great man!
Im British Asian too love the representation!
Misbehave s why do you have to say you are a British Asian, ?that would be like me saying I’m a white British catholic, who cares? Long has you are happy and blessed 🙏
British Asian?
This guy is dope I love how he just did that off the head and he made everybody laugh.
I love to see amazing/charismatic/smart/down to earth celebrities on interviews, he's unbelievable in 'Sound of metal' stunning, it made me cry, a lot. And of course I'm a huge fan of 'The Night Of', brilliant. 👏🏽💛
Making Pakistan proud!
+Dean Tiple :) thumbs up
isnt he british?
Richard Gill Pakistani parents. He's British-Pakistani.
+Umeer Cheema he was born in Britain, that kinda makes him British. Don't start doing what Americans do because it's bullshit. You'll end up saying you are 20th generation Pakistani-British. No. British, no matter where your parents are from.
Graseton Browne Fact is, he has Pakistani blood in him. I'm born and raised in Norway, doesn't mean that I'm not Pakistani. I'm Norwegian and Pakistani. I've got something from both worlds in me. Just like Riz.
I'm dying over here...
Melting away...
So into him, goddddd!!!
😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Met him in person. Very kind, polite gentleman.
he's my favorite actor. he's handsome, smart, and funny. and I like his British accent.
Love you Riz..from Pakistan..Keep up the Good work...first time i saw him in Nightcrawler and since then i became a fan...that time i didnt even know he is of pakistani origin..😊 so proud of you...
"Build a wall around the audition room" lol 😂
Binged watched the entire season on Sunday night after the finale came on. Incredible. Not sure if there's supposed to be a season 2, but Ahmed was incredible with the Nas' character arc through the show.
HIs transformation was amazing in The Night Of. Really talented.
Remember him from The Road to Guantanamo!
And ill manors
Great underrated actor. Been a big fan of his work in some channel 4 dramas(Road to guantanamo,Britz) four lions, ill manors, etc. Can't wait to see him in rogue one
Everyone in the UK knows riz as the guy from Four Lions.
Absolute legend, ill manors one of my favourite films
