Britney Spears’ Ex Sam Asghari Poses With THIS Major Hollywood Star

Actor Sam Asghari is getting ready to focus on his acting career amid his divorce from pop star Britney Spears.

It appears that the 29-year-old actor is trying to make some connections to boost his acting career, which might include one of the most influential actors of the 20th century: Al Pacino.

On Sunday night, the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor shared a single snap that featured him posing with one arm around “The Irishman” actor. Sam is wearing a grey tank top and white shorts, which suggests he might have been out for a run when he ran into Pacino, who was dressed in a casual all-black outfit.

“Some people live a lifetime in a minute,” Sam quoted in the caption of his Instagram post, adding a goat emoji and the hashtag #learningfromthebest. Although some fans loved the photo, others weren’t exactly a fan of the actor amid his divorce from the Princess of Pop.

“I feel bad that you posted such an unflattering picture of Mr. Pacino but it was probably more about you posting the picture with him than you respecting his privacy,” one user commented. “You really don't think he didn't ask if he could post this picture? I swear people like you need a sit in a corner and cry,” another follower commented.

“You really think Al Pacino gives a rat's a-- what we think about how he looks?!?” another user asked. “I believe from this photo we can deduce he indeed does not care about his grooming or appearance,” another follower chimed in. “Pacino is a legend who is not defined by a random selfie,” another netizen added.

“Sam I’m glad to see that you’re happy and are living your life on your terms now! No more babysitting someone who openly cheated on you. You deserve better!” another fan commented, referring to rumors that the actor pulled the plug on his 14-month marriage due to allegations that Britney had cheated on him.

There were a lot of comments about Britney and their divorce on Sam’s post. “You guys saying Britney is very sick and that's why Sam left her, isn't it supposed to be at those times when your husband should be with you even more?” one user asked. “By being by your side, being understanding and supporting you? He didn't sign just for the good times, he also signed for the bad times and only a year later he leaves.”

“On the contrary, now that he left her we have all seen how apparently Britney (as we can see on her Instagram) has continued the same thing and I think even worse. It's obvious that she needs him and even misses him and what does he do? He files for divorce and asks her to pay his attorney fees and spousal support?” they continued.

“When he can perfectly pay his expenses (he said it himself before marrying her) it does not make any sense. No matter how much you guys now mention his mental health, you don't abandon someone you love and who you know is going to deteriorate even more with you leaving, knowing that everyone has already left her and that she's alone,” they concluded.

Although he has been with the pop star since they met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016, the actor told E! News at the Daytime Beauty Awards that he is looking forward to a new start amid his divorce from the pop star. He told the outlet that he is working on an unscripted show at the moment, making sure to clarify that it’s not a reality show. He said “It’s about helping people” and noted that the project is “in the works” even amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.

"We're going to work on amazing things in the future,” he teased, adding, "I was helped by a lot of people, and that's something that, in my heart, it touches me dearly, so I want to be able to give back by helping others as well."

He also addressed his return to social media amid the split. "My lifestyle is fitness and health, so that's something that I do on a daily basis, so that's never going to change,” he said. "So, I hope that by posting on social media or by leading by example, that's something that people get to take away something from me and be able to change their lifestyle—because when you have a healthy lifestyle, you are a positive person and you are a positive light and it's inspiring for other people."

He also talked about his love for animals with the outlet. "I love dogs, and I think it's impossible to give back the love that pets give us," he said at the award show, which benefited the Helen Woodward Animal Center. "So, there's nothing in the sort of things that we can do to give back the same amount of love and support that animals give us. I'm happy that this event also has support for animals."
