The pair chart Idris’ journey to stardom, from his childhood spent mostly alone, getting the buzz for acting, moving to America and getting his big break on The Wire, right up to his first film as a director, Yardie. There’s no talk of James Bond in this conversation, but we think you’ll agree, there are much more interesting things to talk about with Idris Elba. Yardie is out 31st August. #Unfiltered SUBSCRIBE to JOE: http://bit.ly/SUBtoJOE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL ► Main Twitter -   / joe_co_uk   ► Sports Twitter -   / sportsjoe_uk   ► Instagram -   / joe_co_uk   ► Facebook -   / www.joe.co.uk   ► Snapchat - JOEcouk
