Idris Elba will be marking a huge birthday milestone as the actor turns 53 today. The on-screen star who is famed for his role as Stringer Bell in the gritty HBO series The Wire and his leading role in the classic BBC series Luther previously stunned fans when he revealed his royal role on one of the UK’s most memorable occasions. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot in St. George’s Chapel within the grounds of Windsor Castle in 2018. Some 600 guests attended the ceremony and nearly 2 billion people worldwide watch the televised event.
Idris, who described himself as “good friends” with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was the DJ at the reception following their 2018 wedding and previously gave an insight into what took place on their big day.

The actor revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were carefree as they dominated the dance floor.
But revealed that there was one person in particular who let loose that night.
“I think Meghan was the one that was really letting it go,” Elba, 50, told ET Canada when asked who was the best dancer at the royal party.
“You know, she was real … she just had a lot of fun. It was her wedding. So she had the greatest time,” the actor added.

Idris added that he was “so nervous” ahead of the DJ gig but despite the pressure Meghan helped to ease his worries and helped him choose the music for the night.
“Meghan sent me a playlist with some bare tunes on it,” he said on BBC Radio 1Xtra in 2019.
Though he initially kept the night’s setlist to himself, saying only that “there was some West Coast on it,” the Luther actor eventually shared two of the songs that made the cut.
Whitney Houston’s “I Want to Dance with Somebody,” which was the royal couple’s first dance song, and Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.,” were among the hits from the star-studded night, he revealed.
