London – British-Nigerian actor Damson Idris has proudly embraced the title of a “mummy’s boy,” expressing deep admiration and gratitude for his mother’s influence in his life and career.
In a heartfelt statement, the 33-year-old “Snowfall” star opened up about his close bond with his mother, stating that she remains the primary motivation behind his success in the entertainment industry.
“I am a mummy’s boy. Big time. I am not ashamed to admit it anymore. It used to be kind of like – ‘ah, he’s a mummy’s boy.’ I am actually proud of myself on it,” Idris said. “That woman is the reason why I exist. She is my biggest fan and I’m her biggest fan.”
Damson also revealed that his mother’s unwavering support fuels his drive to achieve excellence in his craft. Drawing parallels to a movie character named Joshua, who strives to win a championship to honor his mother, Idris said he shares that same passion.
“She is the one I want to make proud, and I relate to Joshua in that sense, too, because he just wants to make his mother proud and be the best and win a championship. And hopefully, I can win a championship in whatever way I can, too.”
The acclaimed actor, who has become a global sensation thanks to his breakthrough role as Franklin Saint in FX’s Snowfall, has continued to win hearts with his raw talent and humility.
Idris’ open celebration of his mother highlights not only his deep-rooted family values but also serves as an inspiration to fans who resonate with the power of maternal love and support.
