Winning an Oscar is a dream come true for any actor - it's a moment of validation and recognition for all their hard work and dedication. But what comes next after achieving such an incredible feat? Well, for Daniel Kaluuya, he left his Oscar in someone's bed!
The 34-year-old actor, known for his powerful performances in films like Get Out and Judas and the Black Messiah, finally took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Role for his portrayal of Fred Hampton. And it was a well-deserved win, as he had previously been nominated for Best Actor for his role in Get Out.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Daniel sat down with host Graham and fellow guests Bryan Cranston, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Kevin Bridges. Graham couldn't help but ask how it felt to be an Oscar winner, and Daniel humbly replied, "It's nuts, isn't it?" The Irish comedy legend praised Daniel for his impressive rise in Hollywood through his roles in Black Mirror, Marvel films, and Jordan Peele's upcoming movie Nope.
Graham then joked, "I feel like you're just living your life and walking around London, but you have an Oscar." And that's when Daniel revealed the hilarious story of how he almost lost his award just hours after winning it. He had taken it to a party and was passing it around to let everyone take selfies with it. But in the midst of all the excitement, he ended up leaving it on a bed.
Bryce looked shocked as Daniel continued, "We were having a good time, and I totally forgot about it." Graham, feigning horror, asked, "Do we want this story?" But before he could finish, Bryan egged Daniel on to tell the full story. The audience and other guests were in stitches as Daniel shared, "I was just happy to be out, you know, because of the pandemic and everything."
But thanks to one helpful friend, who shall remain nameless, Daniel was reunited with his Oscar. Mimicking his friend's voice, Daniel leaned over and whispered to Bryan, "You left the Oscar on the bed!" And that's how he got it back, as he joked, "I'm never going to parties again!"
