Riz Ahmed doesn���t want to keep his parents from their beauty sleep, even when he wins an Emmy Award! The 34-year-old actor picked up his first Emmy for his role in HBO���s The Night Of, but when he spoke to ET���s Kevin Frazier after his win, he claimed his family still didn���t know.
���By the time all the parties will be wrapping up, I think my parents and my family will be awake in London,��� the British actor said. ���So I think I���ll FaceTime them. They���re all asleep right now.���
But don���t you wake up mom and dad when you win an Emmy?!
���They���re asleep!��� Ahmed protested when Frazier gave him a hard time, adding, ���I sent them a text.���
Ahmed, who���s had a breakout year in Hollywood, added that he was surprised by his own reaction to landing his first Emmy.
���It���s quite a crazy thing because obviously conceptually you understand this is our job, there are awards, people get awards sometimes. It���s a bit of a random thing,��� he said. ���But when it actually happens, it���s quite a physical thing, weirdly. I just feel super relaxed. I could sleep for a week now.���
Ahmed added that he doesn���t know the fate of his HBO mini-series.��
���I don���t have the scoop, but I hope that it comes back,��� he said of a second season. ���If it does, I imagine my character���s kind of reached the end of his story. But I���d really love to see John Turturro come back and take on a new case. As a fan, I���d love to see that.���
