So I have two phones.
0:00
I should name them.
0:01
What could we call them?
0:01
Let's call this one G, and let's call this one Q.
0:06
Hey, what's up, GQ?
0:13
My name is Damson Idris, aka the CEO of the DSS, Dark Skinned Society, aka the sexiest man to ever exist, sexier than Idris Elba, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio combined.
0:18
I actually received Sexiest Man Alive every year, but I turned it down.
0:23
These are my essential items.
0:25
I am getting paid by everything I'm about to promote.
0:33
My first essential item is actually these glasses.
0:35
I walked in the store, and it was like, I want to be like a black John Lennon.
0:45
I used to buy a lot of expensive glasses, and then I kept losing them.
0:45
When I first got to L.A., I used to drive a Mustang, 'cause that's the car you drive when you first come to America from London, and I'd put the roof down.
0:45
I thought I was so cool, and then I was on the freeway, and then boom, the glasses just like, 'Woo, bye.'
0:45
And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, there goes all my money.'
0:45
Um, so yeah, 20 bucks, man, but they're kind of cool, like I think they're fly.
1:06
What do you think?
1:10
At number two, every black man's secret, this curl sponge.
1:18
My hair is actually naturally curly.
1:18
I came out the womb like this, but just to add some effect, you know, you put a little, little something on there.
1:18
Back in the day, I actually used to cut holes into a sponge, like a normal sponge that you like wash dishes with.
1:18
I used to cut holes into it, 'cause that's what all the barber shops were doing in Peckham, and then boom, they just made it like this, like two different sides, and um, I don't go anywhere without it.
1:18
Soccer ball.
1:18
Yeah, I don't have it anymore.
1:52
There's something about footballs that kind of stimulates my mind, helps me learn lines so easily.
1:56
I've broken so many skull sculptures in my house.
2:03
When I'm learning lines, I kind of walk around the house, I have a football in my hand, and I just kick it about.
2:03
I always wanted to be a footballer when I was growing up.
2:03
I support Manchester United, the best team in the entire world.
2:10
Listen, Manchester United, if you want me to play for your team, I would quit acting and come and play.
2:17
I'd score so many more goals than Ronaldo.
2:19
He's whack.
2:19
He's not whack.
2:19
He's not whack.
2:23
You can do some PD, uh, hell yeah, I'm wearing Prada right now, but let's see what happens.
2:31
I'm not going to lose my street cred.
2:31
Let me mess up all this lighting.
2:31
Oh, and that's why I'm now an actor.
2:31
Peace.
3:22
Altoids.
3:31
I've only just realized it actually says 'curiously strong mints', which is kind of interesting.
3:31
Curiously, why is it curiously?
3:31
I probably have like 20 of these a day.
3:31
You know, we have intimate scenes sometimes.
3:31
I often work with uh, actors, and um, of course, and I play characters that are screaming in people's faces.
3:31
I I did this Brick by Brick scene in season 3.
3:31
I was screaming in Isaiah John's face, 'I built this me Brick by Brick and I'll be damned if I let you tear it down.'
3:31
So, um, Altoids came in handy.
3:26
They also sound great.
3:31
I'm really promoting this Altoids.
3:31
I'd like some free Altoids, please.
3:33
That's why I brought this here, this black vest.
3:41
I probably have like a hundred of them.
3:45
I'm actually wearing one right now.
3:47
I did a campaign with Calvin Klein, uh, sorry, I dropped the name on the floor there, you pick it up for me, please.
4:35
Um, I did a campaign with Calvin.
4:35
I stole a bunch of vests.
4:35
No one knows, shh.
4:35
They're probably going to find out now.
4:35
If I'm not wearing whatever my characters wear, I'm probably wearing this.
4:35
I'm I'm not one of those celebrities who like wears a different outfit every day, like that's crazy.
4:35
Did I just call myself a celebrity?
4:35
I'm a normal guy, and you're probably going to see this jacket again in some other interview.
4:35
Okay, I always read like the first 10 comments of my 'gram or whatever, and this girl was like, 'Ah, he's wearing that jacket again.'
4:35
I was like, 'Uh, yeah, what am I supposed to do, give it to to my nephew?'
4:35
Anyway, I love this vest.
4:39
Yeah.
4:39
Oh man, look at that.
4:42
This little guy right here, this is called Rob lip balm.
4:46
It's actually Nigerian, and it's one of those things, you know, every culture has that thing that your mom like makes you put on everything.
4:53
Like if you have a flu, like put some Rob on it.
5:08
Like, well, in my mom's case, it'll be like, 'Put some rub on it.'
5:08
She she's the one to introduce me to this, and she's always like, 'Do you want some Rob?'
5:08
And I'm like, 'Yes, Mama.'
5:08
And I I take it everywhere with me.
5:08
Next is my saxophone, her name Sheila.
5:08
I named her after one of my classmate's wigs on Snowfall.
5:18
I fell in love with the saxophone sound when I fell in love with Sade.
5:24
They would always play these amazing sax moments in the songs, and then Futi would of course play a baritone, but I got an alto because I'm not as good as Futi, of course, nowhere near.
5:24
I'm so bad at playing instruments, right, that when I was in school, I had music class, obviously, and you had to play an instrument to get a grade, and I was so bad that the teacher was just like, 'Uh, Damson, just sing.'
6:00
I'm still learning.
6:00
My aim was to learn them.
6:03
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
6:05
I kind of just got to this bit, um, so I'm I'm nearly there.
6:15
So I have two phones, and one's pleasure, and one's business.
6:18
You know, as an actor, you're alone so much, you know, you're alone on a plane, alone in the back of a car, and this connects me to the world, connects me to my family who I love.
6:30
When did you decide to do two different phones?
6:37
Uh, when I didn't want people taking my number.
6:37
So, so here's the thing, right, we should talk about this.
6:37
I feel like when you meet someone, right, and like you like them, and it's like cool, and you like don't don't ask them for their number.
6:45
I think give give them your number and like give them the opportunity to call you.
6:49
So I have two numbers.
6:52
This one is for the people I really with.
6:54
And then and and this one, um, if you ever ask me for my number and I give you I give you this this bigger phone, that one, that one, you know what time it is.
7:09
Oh, hey baby, how you doing?
7:09
You good?
7:09
How you doing?
7:14
You look you looking real pretty today, you know?
7:15
So, uh, this is my wife.
7:18
My PlayStation 5 has ruined the majority of my relationships.
7:22
I play FIFA Ultimate Team, but more than anything, I play Call of Duty: Rebirth Island with my friends.
7:32
We're on headset screaming, always with the same group, man, Niron, Ja, Lewis, Tosin, Kola, Sam.
7:40
Sam doesn't play because he's a father of 15.
7:40
I've known those guys since since primary school, man, I've known them since I was 11 years old.
7:40
When you're playing FIFA, what's your team?
7:40
So in the last FIFA, EA like sent me like Pelé, Ronaldinho, and Maradona.
7:40
Oh, I shouldn't I shouldn't say that.
7:40
Yeah, celebrities are cheating on Ultimate Team by the way, bombshell, we get free cards, okay?
7:40
Haha, that's why you keep losing.
7:40
This guy right here, it was recommended to me by a makeup artist.
7:40
She was like, 'Oh, uh, Damson, there's this amazing product, uh, you should definitely use it and make your skin look all glowy and nice and everything, and Kevin Hart uses it.'
7:40
And I'm like, 'But Kevin Hart ain't got glowy um, skin.'
7:40
I'm playing, I love Kev, love Kev.
7:40
It's called Lair.
8:26
I've been using it ever since, I've been using it for years.
8:29
If any of you want to have skin that's like use the M and the real thing that matters to me is this woman right here, man, my mama.
8:43
This was on her 70th birthday.
8:43
She looks so pretty.
8:46
She's my most valuable essential item.
8:52
When I'm with her, I just feel safe.
8:54
She's like my safety net.
8:54
Everything I do, I do in her honor.
8:56
I'm the youngest of six and uncle to 16 nieces and nephews.
9:03
I'm now a great uncle actually.
9:03
And my mom is at the head of that empire, and hopefully I could bring that big Nigerian family here.
9:16
L.A. is definitely going to be a lot louder when they arrive.
9:16
So these are my essential items.
9:16
Thank you so much for tuning in.
9:16
Damson Idris, over and out.
