Idris Elba talks about Beyonce in new interview? There’s no doubt Idris Elba is a bona fide sex symbol when it comes to Black Hollywood, and the seasoned actor is not only praised for his great looks, but his undeniable talent on the big and little screens. While there is buzz suggesting Elba could get his first Oscar with his upcoming role in the Nelson Mandela biopic, Elba is still snatching up movie roles like a veteran actor. However, the actor recently opened up about his former role alongside superstar Beyonce in the 2009 thriller “Obsessed.” Idris played Beyonce’s husband in the film and he now says kissing the singer was “a bit weird” considering he has so much respect for her hubby Jay Z and the pair worked on an album together. He tells Event Magazine:
“That was a bit weird. We did a lot of the kissing scenes on day one of filming. I guess it was an icebreaker…
“[Jay-Z’s] cool. We’ve worked together [on his American Gangster album] – there’s a lot of respect there.”
The actor goes on to say that although it was weird to kiss Beyonce, it wasn’t as scary as kissing other actresses:
“It wasn’t as scary as Catherine Deneuve. That was my most terrifying screen kiss [in the 1999 French movie Belle Maman]. I was petrified.
“I mean, that woman is a legend.”
As weird as it was for Idris to kiss Beyonce, we surely couldn’t tell or see any awkwardness in their scenes together. And that’s most likely a testament to Elba’s talent.
Well he can kiss me anytime and I’ll make sure it won’t feel weird at all. #woosah
LOL!
That man is a fine piece of chocolate.
Well I see how these comments are going to go this morning. LOL.
Well at least he had respect for Jay and didn’t try anything. Not all men are that respectful.
He’s yummy.
It’s just something about dark skinned men that gets me every time. Lord Jesus.
Agreed. Not that men of all complexions aren’t beautiful too in their own way, but dark chocolate is beautiful. On men and women. #shrugs
*throws panties*
Does Idris even like black women? Just wondering. You know you have to ask these days.
He does. But he’s not against dating women of any race though. He has no preference.
There’s a lot of horny women on this post. LMBO!
Omg lol
That man…sigh…
Can’t do anything but laugh at these comments. Happy Monday yall.
I forgot about that obsessed movie.
Very good looking man.
