He became the Captain.

not being racist but why do all ethiopians and somalians look exactly the same? like aliens?

Good god, why does he look so ugly?

Look at me
Look at me

I'm the OP now

he bought a ferrari with the entire sum of money he got from that movie (didnt put any into savings) and then crashed it a few days later.
pretty sure hes a bum now

He looks like that crackhead from the PJ's.

I read that in his voice omg

That sounds very familiar.

>he was supposed to be the next big Hollywood heartthrob
No, he wasn't. He was just a minority who got a Oscar nomination so the Academy can be seen progressive, but Hollywood would never make him an A-list. Same thing with that obese chick from 'Precious'

His limo driving business really took off after the Oscars

Who is this? Only know him as a meme.

He eats his Captain Crunch with dirty water you see.

Captain Phillips from his eponymous movie Captain Phillips

it's a meme, you dip

Barkhad Abdi, he was in Captain Philips alongside Tom Hanks. He was paid $65k for his role then he wasted it and went back to work in his brothers store.

Weird, I may have been peripherally aware of that movie, but this is the first time it has actually entered my consciousness. This can be accounted for by my barely paying attention to new movies and it being release before I started coming here.

source? i need to know what he spent is money on

He only got paid $60k and ended up going back to Moghadishu working in his brother's phone shop kek

>not being racist

Seems like he's doing fine

It doesn't say what he spent the money on but that 65k was spent before the film was up before the Oscars, his first ever acting wage was gone in months.
