So Mahershala made the first major decision of her life: to move in with her grandparents, even if it meant another rough neighborhood in the 1980s full of dealers, drugs and guns. “Drugs were back then a way to support each other. Now we are used to seeing those chains and those big cars, but before it was done discreetly and as a support for income, ”he explained.
Fortunately, Mahershala Ali focused on sports, won several scholarships thanks to basketball and, although he competed as a professional player, ended up enrolling at the Shakespeare Theater School in California and rounded off his training with a postgraduate degree in theater at the University from New York.
After not finding any luck in the city either and living in a hovel in Brooklyn, he moved to Los Angeles, where after dozens of secondary roles would arrive the first of them that would make a hole for him in the film industry, the by Remy Danton from House of Cards.
Later would come films like The Hunger Games, Hidden Figures or Spider-Man. However, it would be precisely a role related to the world of drugs, that of Juan, a drug dealer who becomes the caretaker and tutor of the leading child, the one that brought him the first Oscar award. The second would come from the also acclaimed The Green Book. And since then his career has been unstoppable.
