Asked about his upcoming film based on the British series “Luther,” Elba clearly took himself out of playing 007.
Idris Elba wasn't expecting to get a royal invitation for his DJ skills! The actor tells Ellen DeGeneres how he reacted to Prince Harry's request for him to handle the dance music for his and Meghan Markle's big day.
“He plays the American president. I play the British prime minister,” Elba said. “We get into a caper. I'm very excited about doing that because leadership comes in many different forms.” During his talk, Elba urged nations to invest more in creative industries, saying it can provide an economic engine that provides jobs to their youth. In particular, he said creative jobs could greatly help countries in Africa.
