Details revealed by Riz Ahmed about his facing a health scare
In an interaction with Penn Badgley's Pdcrushed podcast, Riz Ahmed shared how he felt something within while filming Rogue One. He stated, "It was like building myself up from scratch. It was super scary and intense and quite prolonged, actually. I always think that when you're brought to your knees, you're halfway towards praying, when something is taken away from you, you become even more acutely aware of everything you have".
"And on a bodily level, on a health level, you realise like, you don't control anything, man. You don't control a single thing. You don't even control your body. Most strangely, I never felt more grateful, more at peace, more content than when I felt like I was going to lose my whole life", said Riz Ahmed.
