Idris Elba May Never Remarry For This Reason

The 44-year old British actor, Idris Elba who is the cover star for Esquire Magazine’s August 2017 issue, takes front page again for Essence Magazine.

Idris Elba talks to Essence about his upcoming films, tight schedule, and love life

He is set to star in six projects this year – including Thor: Ragnarok and the fifth season of Luther.

On his Directorial debut film Yardie:

“Yardie is quite a semi-famous bit of English literature about a small-time pastor who comes from Jamaica and ends up embroiled in (avenging his brother’s death). It’s set in the late seventies, early eighties, a hotbed of Jamaican culture in London, but then crack cocaine arrives.”

On love and marriage:

“Am I ever gonna get remarried? I don’t think so. Yeah, I don’t think so. Marriage is an institution of sorts. And I’ve done it. It’s not for everybody. It’s not my life’s calling.”

Elba, 44 was married to Hanne Norgaard from 1999 to 2003, and Sonya Nicole Hamlin for six weeks in 2006.

He and Norgaard share a teenage daughter, Isan, in addition to his toddler son Winston, whom he welcomed with girlfriend Naiyana Garth in 2014.
