<p>While the 43-year-old has been an actor for the last 20 years, this month he will attend his first Oscars ceremony as a star in, not one, but two best picture nominations – Moonlight and Hidden Figures.</p>
<p>But while he has been busy on the red carpets this year, he is also expecting his first child with wife Amatus Sami-Karim, who he met while studying at New York University in 2000 and married in 2013.</p>

<p>“Having a child is the polar opposite experience of the awards season experience,” he told Associated Press.</p>
<p>“Having a child requires you to nest, to be in your home, and to create and make your home and environment that is one that is potentially very welcoming and nurturing for a child. … The pregnancy has been a real anchor for me to be able to check in.”</p>
<p>This year has seen him nominated for best supporting actor at the Oscars, Golden Globes and the Baftas for his role in the hard-hitting Barry Jenkins films alongside Naomie Harris.</p>
