Sam Asghari wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement before marrying Britney Spears.

The 31-year-old actor and Britney, 43, were married between 2022 and 2024, but Sam urged his former spouse to agree a prenup so that she would be financially "protected".

Sam - who ultimately signed a prenup before tying the knot - said on the 'Trading Secrets' podcast: "I wanted her to have a prenup.

"I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody -- I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her. So it's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that [didn't] do that."

Sam also rubbished the suggestion that he tried to take advantage of Britney's fame and success.

The actor - who met Britney on the set of her 'Slumber Party' music video back in 2016 - said: "I never get mad at the general public or fans or people that are seeing your life from a distance, especially now that I'm not in a relationship for over two years or a year and something.

"Looking from an outside perspective, I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as co-stars."

Despite this, Sam insists he's not worried about the opinions of fans.

He explained: "It's all for me. So it's not really focused on the fans or whoever … My career is always going to be, I'm always going to do things that's going to benefit the fans and people that are watching me. And I want to be a good example. But at the same time, it's because that makes me feel better."

Sam actually rejected a lot of lucrative career opportunities because he wanted to protect Britney and their relationship.

The actor explained: "I turned down a few modelling things back then.

"It was because it was associated with women and I wanted to be respectful. It was a very sensitive time and a very sensitive situation I was dealing with. So I wanted to be very successful and things like that. So that was at that time. Now, it's different."
