From starring as the ruthlessly ingenious drug lord 'Stringer' Bell
in the iconic HBO series The Wire, to playing Madiba himself in the
long-awaited biopic of Nelson Mandela, it has been some journey for
Idris Elba. From humble beginnings, a second generation immigrant
born in Hackney, London, Elba set up his own wedding DJ business at
the age of 14 but, encouraged by his drama teacher to pursue his
natural talent, won a place at the National Youth Music Theatre.
Although possessed of a brooding screen presence which served him
so well as DCI John Luther in the BBC's terrifying crime drama
series Luther, 2016 will show a whole new side to Idris as he
forays into the voice acting world as villainous tiger Shere Khan
in The Jungle Book remake and even a role in Pixar centrepiece
Finding Dory. He inhabits each role as if he were born to play it.
But what of the man himself? In this, the only biography of the
onscreen legend, Nadia Cohen reveals Elba's life behind the lens,
exploring what makes him so ambitious, adaptable and endlessly
watchable. His charisma has won him admirers on both sides of the
Atlantic, and the role of Bond may yet beckon.
