Britney Spears’ estranged husband, Sam Asghari, refused to discuss his split from the pop star while walking the SAG-AFTRA strike picket line in Burbank, California. He compared his situation to Leonardo DiCaprio’s, emphasizing the labor dispute’s importance over his personal life. Asghari, a 29-year-old actor-model known for roles in shows like PBC, Black Monday, and Hacks, was determined to help end the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes that have halted the entertainment industry.

The upstart actor, highlighting the extent of the labor stoppage, emphasized that the strikes have affected everyone in the industry. He used Oscar-winner DiCaprio as an example, stating, “That’s the point of this strike – I have the same number of jobs as Leonardo DiCaprio does,” when asked about his lack of work. Both Asghari and DiCaprio have pending projects, as the industry remains halted during the ongoing labor stoppage. Asghari’s most notable role is in the comedy “Grand Death Lotto,” directed by Paul Feig and starring John Cena, Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and Seann William Scott.

DiCaprio has four pending acting projects, including “The Crowded Room,” “Jim Jones,” “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder,” and “Roosevelt,” despite the strike, according to IMDb. Asghari, who is focused on his acting career following his divorce filing from Britney Spears, expressed concern about the ongoing WGA strike, emphasizing the importance of writers in projects. An insider told US Weekly that Asghari is prioritizing his acting career and looking forward to the future.

The source told the outlet that Asghari has been ‘concentrating on himself for now’ in the wake of the split after more than a year of marriage. ‘Sam hasn’t really been communicating with Britney since he moved out,’ the source said. ‘While he’s open to remaining amicable with Britney, he just needs some space for the time being.’ Asghari has ‘no hard feelings’ amid the split, and is focused on ‘making the best out of it’ moving forward, the source said.
