English actor Idris Elba admits he never watched the TV show that made him famous in the United States...
From NY Post
Idris Elba rose to fame on the acclaimed HBO crime drama “The Wire,” but he recently made a shocking admission: he’s never seen the show, and refuses to watch it.
“If I’m really honest, I didn’t watch ‘The Wire,’” Elba, 52, shared on a recent episode of Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast.
“I didn’t watch it. And I feel bad. It’s not that I’m not a fan of it — I was there. I made a show that was, you know, so intense and so real, so important, even though we didn’t realize it,” the “Luther” star added. “I didn’t realize the importance of the show while making it.”
