The Workout That Transformed Riz Ahmed for ‘Sound Of Metal’
Men s Journal 12/28/2020 Charles Thorp
Riz Ahmed had a clear vision of what he wanted to look like in
Sound of Metal. The British actor wanted to morph into a ripped rock star since his character, Ruben, is an ex-addict punk drummer who begins to suffer devastating hearing loss.
“Riz has immense focus in everything he does,” says trainer Leighton Grant II, who helped Ahmed prep for the role. On top of his fitness expertise, there was also an element of Ruben’s journey that Grant connected closely with. “I wear hearing aids myself, so missing sounds or parts of conversation is a part of my daily life.”
The housing debate here on the coast has been brewing for years. There are some among us, including Quinn Ebert, the author of last weekâs opinion piece, who oppose opening a homeless shelter. No doubt those same people have been vocal opponents of the affordable housing development proposed for Moss Beach.
As a local housing attorney for more than 20 years, I have a different perspective â a perspective that takes into account the systems and policies that have led to the current housing crisis that leaves thousands of unhoused or underhoused people living among us here, in one of the wealthiest regions in the world. Does a local business owner have a duty to serve a homeless person who is belligerent or fails to wear a mask during this pandemic? Of course not. But that question posed in last weekâs opinion piece misses the mark.
