Idris Elba recently opened up about his worst experience on a plane journey which left him feeling 'very scared'. While promoting his upcoming Apple TV Plus thriller Hijack, the Luther actor, 50, admitted that the turbulence on the flight was so bad that it felt like they were "falling out of the sky".
The seven-parter follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, with Idris playing an accomplished negotiator in the business world who must step up and use all his guile to try and save the passengers.
The Wire star went on to share a much lighter moment on ITV's morning show Lorraine while on the promo rounds for Hijack. During the interview the Scottish presenter, 63, suggested that Idris could play a villain in the James Bond franchise after he shut down rumours he was next in line to play 007.
Lorraine jokingly said: 'I was going to say I can see you stroking a white pussy', leaving Idris in a fit of laughter. Both Lorraine and The Suicide Squad actor were beside themselves with laughter as they tried to recover the interview, with Idris sat wheezing as Lorraine started to speak again.
Finally able to compose himself, Idris joked: 'Nah, it's out there now, I've got it in my head the image. But anyway...'. Hijack premieres on Apple TV Plus on Wednesday.
