Azealia Banks Can’t Identify Marvel Star in Throwback Pic! Who Is He?

BBG News

On Wednesday, Azealia Banks left her followers stunned when she posted an old picture of herself alongside a well-known actor, yet she declared that she wasn’t familiar with his identity.

33-year-old American rapper famous for her high-profile online disputes shared an old photograph on platform X, depicting herself grinning alongside a Marvel actor, in it.

She was wearing a T-shirt featuring Beyoncé’s image, paired with leggings patterned like the American flag, and carrying a bright orange bag.

Ever since I laid eyes on that Beyoncé-inspired top and American flag leggings combo, I knew it would be my all-time favorite ensemble! Can’t help but laugh and go ‘aww’ at the sight of Minnie Mouse. Who’s this dapper gent?

Folks hastily shared the information about the man in the photo with the fiery celebrity, who was apparently unaware of his identity. Many were taken aback by her lack of knowledge, expressing shock and disbelief.

It came to light that he was an accomplished actor who had taken on several prominent roles, such as those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “The Bear,” “We’re The Millers,” “The Chronicles of Narnia,” “Midsommar,” the “Maze Runner” series, and “Black Mirror.

Instead, Azealia replied with a chuckle: “What? I never watch TV, so I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. You guys keep reposting, though, and it makes me laugh!

But do you know he is?

It’s Will Poulter!

People swamped the comments section with mentions of the actor’s most iconic performances and statements that he had significantly improved, or “leveled up,” since the picture with Azealia Banks was taken.

Others found themselves in fits of laughter when the artist claimed ignorance about knowing Will, even though they had taken a photograph together.

In a different wording: ‘They posted: ‘Will Poulter resembles the mischievous Toy Story character, yet he’s surprisingly adorable these days’; ‘It’s quite evident whom you’re referring to, wink wink.’ (The last sentence is intended to convey a playful and casual tone similar to the original message.)

1. “It’s fascinating to learn about your encounter with Will Poulter”;

2. “This seems almost unreal, as if we’re in an alternate universe”;

3. “I find it amusing that he was the young Eustace in The Chronicles of Narnia films and now here he is”;

4. “Remarkably, this is the adult version of Will Poulter from the Narnia movies”.

1. ‘He’s the youngster featured in We Are the Millers’;

2. ‘What are you going to do now that you’ve been seen with him and posted a picture together?’;

3. ‘You seem to be speaking untruthfully now.’

1. ‘Will Poulter and an admirer’;

2. ‘A girl who snapped a photo without realizing it was him’;

3. ‘He is indeed Will Poulter, quite a remarkable individual.’

1. “Will Poulter, famously known as the snarky child from Narnia, has grown into a star, and you’re aware of this since he was also in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Bear.”

2. “Will Poulter, who once played the snooty kid in Narnia, has matured into a recognized actor, and you should be familiar with him as he appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Bear.”

3. “You must recognize Will Poulter, the kid from Narnia who used to give people attitude, since he’s grown up and starred in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Bear.”

4. “Will Poulter, who played the snooty character in the Narnia series, has transformed into a prominent actor, and you should know him from his role in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Bear.”

frankly, I’m utterly oblivious, I never tune into television” and ” honestly, he hasn’t changed much for me, I can’t seem to perceive any transformation.

Although it seems like the two celebrities, Will (aged 32) and Azealia, haven’t had many encounters during their time in the spotlight, there have been previous instances where Will expressed disapproval of Azealia.

The contentious artist’s professional journey has been largely overshadowed due to numerous conflicts, heated arguments, and instances of offensive language, such as hurling racial slurs at Zayn Malik and using homophobic remarks against a flight attendant on a Delta flight.

Before closing his account in 2019, it is said that Will expressed this on Twitter back in 2016: “We’d rather keep Donald Trump and Azealia Banks away, and I’m proud to be British.

The following day, it is reported that he posted another tweet: “Amazingly, @AZEALIABANKS believes the British public dislikes her mostly due to her opinions on the rap industry. It’s actually because of your racially charged comments!

Previously, this BAFTA-awarded actor shared insights about public reactions to his body change, following his muscle build-up to portray Adam Warlock in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 on various online platforms.

To fulfill the character’s physical demands, Will needed to significantly increase his lean physique, which was a challenging and strenuous journey for him as an actor.

In a nod to his co-star, Chris Pratt, the actor acknowledged receiving fitness tips that assisted him in preparing for the film. However, he cautioned against emulating his extreme methods used to secure that role.

However, during an interview with GQ Hype in 2023, Will candidly shared that he does not view himself as traditionally good-looking, acknowledging the constant evaluation of his physical appearance within the film industry.

He shared: ‘It felt strange when others began discussing my looks on the internet, debating if I was considered appealing or not.’

I feel confident and content knowing that I don’t fit conventional standards of attractiveness, as I’ve often been pointed out for my unique features, be it my eyebrows or other aspects. People seem to find it noteworthy.

It seems this topic points to a larger question: Why do we find ourselves delving deeply into or focusing so intensely on the physical attributes of individuals?

As a committed supporter, I often ponder over the fact that certain perspectives, particularly those of women, seem to be under an intense spotlight. However, irrespective of one’s gender, it’s puzzling why there’s such a heavy emphasis on everyone’s viewpoints. Regrettably, social media has fostered this troublesome notion that all opinions, regardless of their merit, hold equal weight.
