Idris Elba is, without a doubt, the man of the moment. He's everywhere, is he not? On our TV screens for gripping series and blockbuster films, on billboards all over, voicing our favourite videogames and more. Let's take a closer look at exactly why we're all in adoration of this Londonborn delight...
4. Film
Idris has appeared in numerous films over the years, including big hits such as Thor, Prometheus and Pacific Rim. He's shown himself to be an extremely adaptable actor. He played Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in 2013 to great effect and, more recently, he's appeared in can't be missed movies such as Avengers: Age of Ultron. We're eager to see him in a number of upcoming flicks - not only will he be in the new Star Trek, but he'll also voice characters in Finding Dory and The Jungle Book. Marvellous.
