Film and TV Idris Elba star had fans in a spin in Newcastle where he showed off his musical skills during a special club night.
The actor - a star on both sides of the Atlantic following TV roles in The Wire and Luther as well as movies including Mandela: Walk to Freedom and The Mountain Between Us - proved he has plenty other strings to his bow when he performed a DJ set at The Lofts in the city centre. The set went down a storm with clubbers at the weekend Bliss night and it seemed that the main man enjoyed it as much as anyone.
Elba took to his Instagram story afterwards to say "what a rave". The star is the latest big name to appear at The Lofts, a so-called "superclub" which opened to a fanfare last summer, and his Saturday slot seems set to remain in the memory of fans who shared their night's experience on social media, summing up Elba's performance as "amazing" and describing how he "absolutely smashed it".
