[Reine1944]

He is so ful of himself. He started to look old. 

[neneyounge]

2:13 he's talking about 'Takers'

[VideoUploaderr]

[abigailwng]

[MEGAjunglejuice]

these people cal 1 second a television clip.

[darkshad109]

@MEGAjunglejuice Read the description.

[StarletSweetpea]

I love him! That voice..ummmm!

[Reine1944]

@StarletSweetpea His voice sounds so old. He looks old too.

[Rosannasfriend]

@Reine1944 no, without his mustache I can see a young face.

[bxkumotenchi22]

like his american accent and voice...its so sultry and deep but his natural British accent is so smooth and gentle...god i love this man.

[themusic6]

he's like a black Ross kemp but a 100 times better!!

[DrieseuhniX]

Hahaha, everything with a r in it. Idwis Elba is funny.

[JapsEye2]

I had no fucking idea he was British. And even when I read that he was, I assumed that he was a Brit who grew up in the States and had a natural American accent. So to hear him talking with his British accent is really unusual. Most impressed.

[pulkmees]

@JapsEye2

I had no idea he did the accent so well.I watched Luther first(british series) and AFTER that i watched every episode of The Wire.I was like wtf, how the hell can he do an american accent so damn good.

[MsDDiddy]

@pulkmees it's b/c he's british. they're very good at doing american accents. it took me a while to realize hugh laurie on house was even british.

[pulkmees]

@MsDDiddy

I know he is british.I just found out the other way that he can do the american accent very good.I also wrote my last reply before Luther was mentioned in the interview.

[nellie2581]

Ring my bell, that's funny

[TenshiTamagoKidd15]

mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

[tothemountains]

"nigga', you ain't got the floor, the chair don't respect yo' ass"

[koslovtimberland]

@tothemountains char dont RECOGNIZE yo ass not respect

[91WriterzStatus]

he's gorgeous!

[YouGotGunYouGotGun]

This blew my mind I though he was American and here is talking like a geezer

[kylec22111]

@YouGotGunYouGotGun You'd actually be surprised how many actors that are on American shows are actually British. Dominic West (Jimmy McNulty) is from Sheffield.

[YouGotGunYouGotGun]

@kylec22111 sheeeeeeeeeeeit McNulty too! Blew my mind again

[steamedturtle]

@YouGotGunYouGotGun fuck me twice and sideways. i just finished the wire and now i'm doing my due diligence and i just found out about west and elba. sheeeeeeeit is right.

[1e0s]

I don't think ive EVER seen ANYBODY better looking ! ! !

[xernjaetovse]

he so fine dayuummmmm

[Raafje84]

Heimdall Open the Gate !

[Wrestlinggurl101]

OMFG....I LOVE HIS FRICKING ACCENT!!...IM NOT LYING...PLUS HE IS SUPER SEXY LOL...

[TheSIXFOURFIVETWO]

black men with London accent omg wow.

[Wrestlinggurl101]

@TheSIXFOURFIVETWO I know right?!! Lol its fricking sexy..

[soya129]

Stringer should of fucked Clay up. Ahh Sheeeeeit!

[dinkthroughball]

bad motherfucker

[IrishDub18]

@dinkthroughball yep, hes a slick fuck in the wire

[Aivottaja]

God, I hope they don't exhaust that accent question like they did with Hugh Laurie. Sure, it takes practice to master an accent, but actors do it all the time. It's part of the job.

[Filmzie]

Now that is amazing. Breaks leg, comes in for interview.

[piplington]

i thought that he was invisible? in the same ranks as chuck Norris

[follepourchevaux]

What a lovely gorgeous man. Great in The Big C and love him in Luther! Excellent actor and easy on the eyes.

[yousmellbadhahe]

coolest accent i have ever heard!

[rachelmdw]

"We can see youur muscles hanging out and all that..." and then he asks if he's lying about his age! Jealous, much?!

[burres48]

Denzel Washing eloquent, gifted makes $20,000,000 a movie. Idris thats who we see you as. Strong lead roles only!! Stop letting them play with your money. No more thor, The office, unborn, csi. Denzel"s bio only lead. Get a new manager that appreciate your true value. $20,000,00 a movie. Hold out for only lead roles. Women are crazzy about you.

We love you IDRIS ELBA!

[dougiecoolietrini]

English audience are TERRIBLE!

[1938gwen]

If the powers that "BE" in British film don't find work for this excellent actor, they are just plain stupid. He is like a breath of fresh air, and he is not hard on the eyes, either. I hope he continues to have a very successful career.

[wemartin12]

His accent on The Wire really was impeccable... after one episode I suspected Dominic West was a Brit, but never Stringer Bell.

[GeoffLe0pard]

@wemartin12 I knew Idris was a Brit so I knew before hand him putting an accent on... I had no idea that Dominic West was British until I finished watching The Wire. Didn't suspect a thing!

[TheDkritzer]

@wemartin12 yeah i had a feeling about mecnulty but i never heard it coming from him

[AlvinHDavernport]

@wemartin12 I think Carcetti was equally impeccable. I was blown away when I learned that he was also from the Isles.

[JWade29]

After watching him on The Wire for so long, it's funny to hear him use his regular accent.

[ElPsychochillero]

"idris elba on jonathan ross" that just sounds wrong

[dallastexas78]

OMG!!! I love Idris Elba!!! and I saw the first season this year and I was like omg I have to see the second season and I love this show!!

[Caotic3]

someone PLEASE tell me what is so sexy about him???? he looks average to me

[fenty4eva04]

Oh Lawwd!! Dis MAN is FOOINNNE!!! as hell!! D things I would do 2 him!!!!! He would get IT 4 sure!!!

[stenna15]

[elh69]

[herefordmsv]

[suigenneosoul]

just a joke, just a joke !

[whydoihaveanaccount1]

idris elba the mother fucking BOMB

[NexusARC]

Heimdall your awesome!!!

[executionerofgod]

No one seemed to notice when Harvey Dent (Two-Face) was played by a white guy.

[1993MovieMan]

@executionerofgod Harvey WAS ALWAYS Caucasian EXCEPT in The Tim Burton Film which BOTH The Joel Schumacher and Chris Nolan Films RETCONNED ! He JUST had A Tan in The Comics and Animated Series ! Also in The Comics , he was said to be of Greek Descent which , combined with his Good Looks , Slight Arrogance and Unshakable Sense of Morality PRIOR TO The Scarring , earned him The Nickname " Apollo " !

[guybeleeve]

Some people had a problem with him playing heimdal in Thor. Dude nailed it...just watch it idris Elba & Anthony Hopkins ARE the only cast members who act and look god like!!! Especially Elba with his golden eyes and armor!!

[LilBlitz116]

@guybeleeve yeah but idris made a good point when he said its ok 4 ben kingsley 2 play gandhi but he cant play that role.

[Go2GUyNny]

i m an american guy and think he's sex symbol

[kindakooky1]

@Go2GUyNny

You have impeccable taste.....) said with smile.

[KingKurt]

Idris the Gooner. Legend.

[charlie420100]

he is awsome actor idris

[Remus0387]

I'm a big fan of Idris Elba, damn that motherfucker's bad ass.

[Alishhh4]

I could not be more in love with this guy, I mean he has an Oscar Wilde quotation on his t-shirt for fucks sake.

[southernbrooklyngal]

I'm really loving all the the black brits working over here like Idris, Aml Ameen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, good job guys

[Slimdagremlin]

I WISH I HAD A BRITISH ACCENT!

[Slimdagremlin]

I WISH I HAD A BRITISH ACCENT!

[alicea57]

[lottaluvncr8tivity]

Is luther ever coming back on tv. BBC sucks!!

[cruzin14]

[Malachai000]

[gillybopper]

Beautiful man, had a dream about him last night and had to look him up.... serious hotty...

[wuzcloopin]

[wu4533]

[zweiosterei]

@wuzcloopin Wallace was not made for the game yo!

[seinabS]

[sunspots7793]

I was so surprised he was British after I saw him in a few American movies. But now that I know, I'm even more in love with him xD

[MsBarbieKim]

[blackgirl86]

Idris is so sexy even with a broken leg!!!! OMG!!! 

[garfrain]

@blackgirl86 pipe down black girl

[showan412]

@blackgirl86 Sheet.. i'm a dude AND I AGREE WITH YOU!

[blackgirl86]

@showan412 lol

[libzfinest10]

That's basically my man...

[anonbeliever1]

I loved him as Stringer Bell in The Wire but I think his popularity in the States has gone to his head a bit. What's with the wanting to show his biceps all the time. It was funny the first time. After the second time he just looks like he loves himself.

[max19088]

top british actor whos getting sick roles in america the losers thor takers etc

[twat4002]

thanks for posting this the man is a legend

[007DefCon3]
