Britney Spears' Fiancé Wanted To Play This Part In And Just Like That
File this under things you may not have known about Britney Spears' fiancé, Sam Asghari. The personal trainer, who first crossed paths with the singer while working on her music video "Slumber Party" in 2016, is looking to break into acting (via Harper's Bazaar). He has already won some bit parts in recent TV shows, appearing as a security guard on "NCIS" and as Sexy Santa on "Hacks" (via IMDb).
But there was a part Spears' main man hoped to land on the much-talked about new HBO Max "Sex and the City" reboot, "And Just Like That..." The coveted role was as Carrie Bradshaw's physical therapist (via Page Six). As fans of the show know, the main character gets hip surgery on the latest episode and develops a crush on her PT.
Unfortunately, as Asghari shared with his 2.3 million Instagram followers, things didn't go his way when it came down to it.
Sam Asghari won another acting role
"Man, I was looking forward to this role for the reboot of 'Sex and the City,' 'And Just Like That,'" Asghari shared via his Instagram Story last week, according to Page Six. "Shout out to the dude that got it! It was a dope role," he added. As the outlet reports, Ryan Cooper ended up getting the role. Like Asghari, Cooper has also starred in smaller roles. You may recognize him from appearances on "Blue Bloods," "Confess" or "Day 5" (via IMDb).
He may have missed out on the "AJLT" role, but as Deadline reports, Asghari is set to star in an upcoming Mel Gibson movie called "Hot Seat." Kevin Dillon of "Entourage" fame is also starring. According to IMDb, Spears' other half plays Sergeant Tobias and the film is in post-production. Interestingly, Gibson and Spears are old friends.
About "Hot Seat," the soon-to-be movie star told Hollywood Life, "It is a great action film, and I can't wait for it to release." He added he enjoyed the filming process and we'll add we look forward to seeing Asghari on the big screen even if we missed seeing him on the small screen alongside Sarah Jessica Parker.
