Riz Ahmed detailliert „sehr intensiv“ Gesundheitsschrecken, während er Star Wars Prequel Rogue One erschießt: „Mein Körper hat irgendwie aufgegeben“

> „Around the time of taking on Sound of Metal, I had had a very intense kind of health-related experience myself,“ Ahmed revealed on Tuesday’s episode of the Podcrushed podcast.

> Ahmed explained, „Basically, I was in the middle of filming [Rogue One: A Star Wars Story], and my body kind of gave up on me. I was extremely exhausted. I was hospitalized for a brief period, and I really tried to regain my strength. I was building myself up from scratch. It was super scary and intense and quite prolonged, actually. For a minute I was like, ‚Am I ever going to get my life back?'“

> Even now, Ahmed reflects that „it really wasn’t clear.“ He referred to the health scare as „something very silent and very intense [that] happened to me, and I wasn’t getting better quickly.“ The dimension of the experience he did delve into, however, was the impact it ultimately had on his life and career.
