54 today and still one of the coolest men in Britain 🙌⁠
⁠
Happy birthday to Idris Elba, who has gone from growing up in East London to becoming one of the UK's most recognisable actors.⁠
⁠
His career has given us Stringer Bell in The Wire, DCI John Luther in Luther, Heimdall in the MCU and Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.⁠
⁠
Away from acting, he's also been DJing since his teens and has performed at festivals including Glastonbury and Coachella.⁠
⁠
From Stringer Bell to Luther, Hollywood blockbusters and DJ sets around the world, what a career 👏⁠
⁠
Happy 54th birthday, Idris ❤️⁠
