“When Abdi is in Los Angeles to promote the film, he subsists on a per diem, good at the Beverly Hilton, where the studio likes to put him up. The town car is available only for official publicity events. His clothes are loaners,” reads the article. “Recently Abdi requested that he be allowed to stay at a commuter hotel near LAX to be closer to his friend, a Somali cabdriver from Miinneapolis, who shuttles him around for free.”Abdi earned $65,000 for his performance in the $55 million grossing Captain Phillips, but that was more than two years ago. Regardless, it is likely Abdi has a better future in the film industry than, say, selling phones for T-mobile or Verizon. Photo via: Google
