In other news, Idris opens up about his views on entering politics after he was said to be a potential contender for the Labour Party in the run-up to the 2028 London mayorship.
"I think you have to give it to people that enter politics – the life cycle and going on an educative curve to become a politician means that you have to adopt that courage really early because then you’re faced with these impossible predicaments," he said at the Venice Film Festival in Italy,
"It’s about your judgement then; it’s about what you know, what you’ve learned, what you’ve lived through, and your courage. So I learned I don’t have the courage to be in politics, that’s for sure," Idris concluded.
