If you’ve seen Girls Trip, you know the scene. It’s the kind of moment that becomes instant pop culture shorthand—unforgettable, hilarious, and just a little bit risqué. American actor and model Kofi Siriboe played Malik, the charming young man at the center of one of the film’s most talked-about comedic bits involving Jada Pinkett Smith’s character, Lisa. When the 2017 comedy-drama hit theaters, Siriboe was just 23, bringing youth and charisma to a role that somehow became one of the most quotable scenes in the movie.

That ensemble cast—which also featured Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, and Queen Latifah—turned Girls Trip into a cultural phenomenon, and Siriboe’s part in that story, however brief, made an impression. Fast forward nearly a decade, and the actor has aged out of those fresh-faced twenty-something roles. He’s now in his 30s, and it’s natural to wonder what nine years and a full decade of Hollywood has done to his look.

The evolution from rising actor to seasoned pro is always interesting to track, especially when someone burst onto the scene in such a memorable way. Siriboe has continued working in film and television since that breakout moment, so there’s plenty of reason for fans of Girls Trip to be curious about where he’s landed in his career and what he’s been up to. Sometimes the most iconic roles are just the launching pad for what comes next.
