American actor and rapper Mahershala Ali capturing the fun spirit of summer covers the July 2017 issue of GQ. Photographed by Peggy Sirota, the 43-year-old black actor who was all smiles headed to Catalina Island for the editorial fashion shoot, dressed in covetable outfits with tropical prints from the designs of top brands like Moncler and AMI to Gucci.
In an interview with the magazine, Mahershala Ali talks about the reality of his recent fame and being a black man in America. He said, “When suddenly you go from being followed in Barneys to being fawned over, it will mess with your head.” However, Ali explains that fame hasn’t completely changed the game. He shares, “Walking down the street in Berkeley and some cops roll up on you and say straight up, ‘Give me your ID,’ and you’re like, ‘What the f**k?’”
