Idris Elba Taking A Hiatus From Acting + Diddy Confesses: ‘I Use to Pee in the Bed’

Ladies, the days of us lusting over Idris Elba’s handsome face on the big screen are coming to an abrupt halt…temporarily. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the 40-year-old British native announced that he’s taking a hiatus from acting.

‘This year I’m not going to work as an actor so I can concentrate on music. I do it from the heart, not for the money.”

To date, he’s released three EPs (Big Man, Kings Among Kings & High Class Problems Vol 1). And in totally non-relevant news, Sean Diddy Combs, was a pissy little boy growing up. And when I say pissy little boy, y’all know exactly what I mean.

This week, he (and Mark Wahlberg) swung by Ellen Degeneres’ show to promote AQUAhydrate and opened up a bit about just how uncool he was as a youngster. He shared:

“I grew up as a Kool-Aid kid. I used to pour a half of pound of sugar into the Kool-Aid…and there is something about sugar that makes you wet the bed. So I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed and the first day I had a sleepover and I didn’t wet the bed it was like one of the greatest days of my life. It gave me the swagger that I have today.”

And in true Diddy form, the 41-year-old found a way to tie-in the fact that his new brand, will not cause kiddies to have accidents in bed. He joked:

“So to all you boys and girls out there: As Muhammad Ali used to tell you to brush your teeth, I’m telling you to drink water, OK?”

Gotta love ’em.
