Riz Ahmed is set to host SNL UK this weekend, and it appears he is deeply immersed in method acting. In a promo skit, cast members Ayoade Bamgboye and George Fouracres visit the Bait star’s dressing room, finding him dancing with a box of sweets. The mood changes when they ask about his performance in Aneil Karia’s 2025 rendition of Hamlet, causing his smile to fade. Ahmed asserts he wasn’t just playing Hamlet; he fully embraced the character. When Fouracres inquires if he went on a real-life rampage for vengeance, Ahmed simply places a finger to his lips, whispers “no,” and then smiles enigmatically.
