British-Nigerian actor Damson Idris impressed fans with his football skills during his debut at the Soccer Aid for UNICEF match at the London Stadium, where his standout performance helped England secure a 3-2 victory over the World XI.
The Snowfall star played a key role in England’s win, opening the scoring after receiving a pass from Jermaine Defoe and calmly finishing past the goalkeeper.
His hidden football talent drew widespread praise on social media, with many fans joking that he might have chosen football over acting.
One fan commented, “When I first saw it, I thought it was AI. Bro is nice. Definitely better than some players,” while others added, “He could go pro in the Australian league,” “Same character in Snowfall,” and “Nigerians are natural ballers, facts only.”
