Sam Asghari (31), in a candid radio interview on "Manic Monday," admitted that his six-year relationship with pop icon Britney Spears (43) has had its share of ups and downs, not just for their personal lives, but also for his professional journey. He shared, "I ain't gonna sugarcoat it; this relationship has been no walk in the park." He went on to describe how being in such a high-profile romance "gave me a stage for my craft."

However, the spotlight that came with his relationship with the pop sensation brought both opportunities and obstacles. Asghari noted, "I had to grind harder to prove my worth." At the time he met Spears, Asghari was juggling roles as a fitness trainer alongside his burgeoning acting career.

Asghari claimed that casting agents often dismissed him as nothing more than a "cheap fitness trainer" due to his high-profile romance.

Despite his efforts, Asghari's acting career remains lackluster, with minor roles in shows like "Hacks," where he played a "Sexy Santa," and movies like "A Madea Homecoming" and "Hot Seat" featuring Mel Gibson (69).
