Idris Elba has gushed with pride as he was able to bring Hollywood to Hackney for the premiere of his new blockbuster Beast.
The Luther star, 49, admitted it was a special feeling bringing the premiere of his latest work back to the borough he grew up in. The thriller, which was filmed in South Africa, follows the story of a man and his two teen daughters who are hunted by a lion while holidaying in the savannah.
It's the second movie Idris has filmed on the continent following the shooting of drama Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom in 2013.
