Idris Elba - Personal Life

Personal Life

Elba is currently single. He and his ex-wife Kim Elba have a daughter. Elba spends much of his time in London, but also owns a home in Atlanta, so he can be close to his daughter.

In April 2009, the Prince's Trust, which Elba credits with helping to start his career, appointed him its Anti-Crime Ambassador, and in July 2010, he announced his support for Oona King in her campaign to become the Labour Party candidate for Mayor of London in 2012.

Elba is a fan of Arsenal F.C., while his father supports Manchester United.

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
