In some countries, no one knows who Idris Elba is.
From Idris Elba
I knew that if I wanted to be all I could be, I would have to go to the U.S. It took three years to get the accent right.
I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.
I get criticized for taking roles in films like 'Ghost Rider 2', but if you look at my resume, dude, I've mixed it up as much as I can.
Not obsessed with particularly Nike, but sneakers in general. I love them.
Yeah, I know, any time you hear an actor say, 'I do music', you cringe. But I want to be gradual with my music. I want to earn my stripes.
I was really ambitious, so I was innovative. I was one of the first DJs to do live calls, 'cause I found this phone device that would pick up other people's voices.
As an actor, you're trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you're working with.
Because I was big, I didn't have to listen to anyone doubting me. I was just considered good at football or whatever, there were no questions about it.
Every leading lady I work with, I'll see if I can get a song out of them and put it on an album.
