Idris Elba proved the true sportsman he is when he attended a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
The 50-year-old British actor dressed casually for the sporting event in black jeans and an oversized long-sleeved black shirt.
She completed the look with a black beanie and a pair of mint green Nikes.
Idris, who is a long-time fan of the Arsenal football team and a huge fan of cricket, was accompanied by his glamorous wife Sabrina, 33.
She wore a blue plaid shirt with pale denim jeans, which she paired with open heels and a gold bag.
Cool: Idris Elba attended a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors on Friday, the same night his Netflix movie, Luther: The Fallen Sun, premiered.
Cute couple: He was accompanied by his wife Sabrina, 33, who put on a glamorous display in heels, jeans and a plaid shirt for the ballgame.
Her hair was slicked back with a side parting and she opted for a natural makeup palette, showing off her natural good looks.
The married couple, who met at a party in 2017 and tied the knot in an extravagant ceremony two years later, were all smiles as they attended the game.
The Wire star admitted he fell in love “at first sight” when he saw Sabrina and often talks about how the pair are inseparable.
Despite stating that he would never marry again, Idris made a public proposal to Sabrina at a film screening, before tying the knot in Marrakech in 2019.
The couple share a hugely successful podcast, titled Coupledom, and have launched their own lifestyle brand, Sable Labs, which is Elba’s spelled backwards.
The couple aims to make Sable Labs a “global community celebrating partnerships of all kinds: romantic partners, business partners, creative duos, longtime friends, family ties, and much more.”
Idris’s appearance at the basketball game comes after yesterday’s Netflix release of ‘Luther: The Fallen Sun’.
The highly anticipated action movie, adapted from the hit BBC series, sees Elba return to the character of DCI John Luther.
Super Spy: The actor plays the mysterious John Luther in the first film version of the TV series and has long been touted as Daniel Craig’s replacement for James Bond.
Business Partners: The famous couple often seen hanging out together have also launched their own lifestyle brand, Sable Labs, which stands for Elba’s spelled backwards.
Podcast pals: The couple have been married for three years and run a hit podcast, Coupledom, where they talk about their relationship and feature celebrity guests.
Player of the Game: Also in attendance for basketball was the surprise VIP guest of Mexican soccer player, Javier Hernandez.
We love it! Despite a slew of negative reviews from critics, Idris’s fans took to Twitter to praise his return as Luther in Netflix’s The Fallen Sun.
Back on screen: Idris Elba returns as DCI John Luther in the Netflix adaptation. The movie has received mixed reviews, but many fans are calling for more Luther to appear on the streaming service.
The latest film has received a number of two-star reviews, with critics calling the “absurd” image “confusing”, “implausible” and “ludicrous”.
However, fans of the British heartthrob didn’t seem to mind, with some fans asking Netflix to make more gritty series.
The Wire star, who has long been touted as Daniel Craig’s replacement for James Bond, teased Capital Radio that there could be more Luther works in the future.
Asked if there would be a spin-off following Alice Morgan, the dysfunctional psychopath who appeared on the BBC series, Idris revealed: “This is a question for Neil Krause, who writes Luther and I think he definitely thought of that.” .
And I think we’ve all envisioned an Alice show because it would be amazing. But I also think that Alison in Luther’s universe is not dead.
