Mahershala Ali Has Been ‘Very Patient’ Amid Problems Surrounding ‘Blade’ Reboot: ‘He’s Not Rattled’


Mahershala Ali has been 'very patient' amid the problems surrounding the Blade reboot, an insider exclusively tells Closer of the actor's 'humble' personality.

To Mahershala’s credit, he is an incredibly open-minded guy and treats everybody the same: with total respect, whether they’re running a film set or bussing tables at the local coffee shop,” the source adds. “That’s not been the key to his amazing rise in Hollywood, because the guy is an awesome actor and never phones it in, but his unusual, calm and humble attitude certainly hasn’t hurt him, and it’s probably made it easier for him to be on a set with costars and coworkers who have way-larger-than-life personalities.” On top of his Oscar-winning performances in 2017’s Moonlight and 2019’s Green Book, he’s also earned a Golden Globe, an Emmy and three Screen Actors Guild Awards from various projects.
