One shocking turn of events has seen Britney Spears’ former husband, Sam Asghari, in the news again, and for good reason. His reaction—one that very few if any, expected him to have—doesn’t just reveal something about Asghari himself but also something about the situation inherent to him being in the news about this particular “story” lately.

But the most important part remains: Who will star as Sam in this film? Asghari is not saying much, but it’s clear he is putting all of his efforts into his craft. What is less clear is which Hollywood A-lister might take on such a challenging and potentially explosive role.

And there’s more. Sam recently attended the premiere of his new action-comedy “Jackpot,” which is now available on Prime Video. But he didn’t walk the red carpet solo. He brought his special plus-one, his beloved mom. The two are apparently super close these days, and they’ve got a sweet story to go along with their newfound closeness. Despite their somewhat distant past, the bond between Sam and his mom is undeniable, both when you see them together and when you think about how Sam’s been the one pulling off all the heart-thumping stunts his character performs in the movie.

Here’s the inside story: Sam was up against high-octane action and a superstar wrestler named John Cena while filming the movie “Jackpot.” Did he come away from this confrontation unscathed? Spoiler alert: Most definitely. Sam took a “really nice hit” from this former world champ but apparently did not get injured. Whew! That’s a close call.
