In February 2017, Mahershalal’s first child, a daughter, was born.

Mahershalal Ali's Career

From 2001 to 2010, Ali was currently starred by his full name, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, before being credited as Mahershala Ali.

After being told that his entire term was too long to fit on the poster for the film The Place Beyond the Pines, he decided to use a shorter version of his first name. He did not want “M.

In 2017, Ali appeared in the story mode Longshot of the video game Madden NFL 18. Mahershalal played Don Shirley in the 2018 film Green Book, for which he received his second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor Motion Picture, and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
