Idris Elba wishes to collaborate more with wife Sabrina

Idris Elba wants to do more projects with his wife, Sabrina Elba.

The 53-year-old actor has worked with his spouse on podcasts and is open to doing more together whenever the "right opportunities" come.

Idris told OK! magazine: "Personally and professionally I'd love to do more projects with his wife.”

"We have our skincare range, and if the right opportunities come up I want to do more with my wife who luckily also happens to be my best friend,” he added.

The Luther star, who has children Raize, 32, Isan, 23, and Winston, 11, from his previous relationships, added: "Then, of course, you want your kids to be happy. I have always said I don't mind what paths they choose to go down, as long as it's their path and they are doing something they are passionate about."

Idris has also been a passionate campaigner against knife crime – even working with King Charles on the issue – and believes that youngsters need to be given "opportunities" if the crisis is to be stopped.

He said: "If we are going to divert kids away from knife crime we have to be able to offer them opportunities that they haven't so far been getting. The King's Trust does some incredible work, and we have to create these partnerships that get kids off the street.”

The actor continued, "There is a moral duty, knife crime is not just a criminal issue. It affects so many walks of life. Grieving families, overcrowding in prisons, problems in the school system.

"We have to get to the root of the issue – that's the only way we are going to see real change,” Idris Alba concluded.
