Sam Asghari Walks SAG-AFTRA Strike Picket Line After Britney Spears Split

Asghari, a member of SAG-AFTRA, was spotted marching with a sign in hand near the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, where he voiced his support for the striking workers who have been off the job since the strike began on July 13. “We’re not here to talk about my personal life,” Asghari told TMZ when asked about his high-profile divorce from Spears. “We’re here to raise awareness for my brothers and sisters working hard and striking for my future.
