CelebnMusic247.com reports that during a recent interview, 49-year-old actor and DJ Idris Elba said he’s hoping to step away from acting in the upcoming years in order to fully focus on making music.
After playing a DJ on Netflix’s Turn Up Charlie, performing at Coachella in 2019, and serving as DJ for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding reception, The Harder They Fall star Idris Elba is ready to let his acting career take a backseat to music making, as he said being a DJ has been a lifelong dream of his.
While speaking on the transition, Idris stated:
Some may think, ‘Well, it will be the death of your acting if your music’s s—.’ I’ve dealt with the internal struggle of that over the years. So now I’m at peace and I’ve chosen: This is what I’m doing, and I’m going to do it.
He continued:
Some will love it and some will hate it.
He continued speaking on the process of making a movie versus making music.
The actor stated:
The thing about making music is it’s a very consuming process. It’s very difficult to shoot a movie and then go off into the studio or make a song. It’s like trying to build a soufflé while making a brick wall.

This is not the first time the Sonic The Hedgehog star has spoken about trading up acting for music. During an interview back in 2013, Idris stated:
This year, I’m not going to work as an actor and I’m going to put my mind into music. It’s a progression thing with me. I want to make music but I don’t want to shove it down people’s throats. People are just barely getting to know me as an actor. But I do it from the heart, I’m not doing it for money — I just enjoy doing it.
Idris is already slated to reprise his role as Knuckles in the third installment of the Sonic The Hedgehog series
