(CelebNMusic247-News) Idris Elba Weighs In On Kissing Beyonce
Idris Elba has come a long way since his stint in the suto remake of Fatal Attraction titled Obsessed that also starred pop diva Beyonce.
Despite being a bona fide sex symbol when it comes to Black Hollywood, in a recent interview, Idris Elba is looking towards the future with his oscar worthy performance in the upcoming film about Nelson Mandella. The Biopic film has been stirring up alot of buzz, and insiders are saying this should give Idris Elba his first Oscar nomination.
However, the actor recently opened up about his former role alongside superstar Beyonce in the 2009 thriller “Obsessed.” Elba 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 and her hubby Jay Z.
The sex symbol and London Borough of Hackney native 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 40-year-old 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.”
Wow, interesting…what do you think of that?
In other news, Idris wanted to let fans know that he is returning to another season as John Luther in the BBC hit series Luther Season 3! We can’t wait. This is one of the best shows…so gritty!
