Idris Elba Talks About DJing at Royal Wedding on Ellen 2019

Idris Elba Was Confused When Prince Harry Asked Him to DJ the Royal Wedding: "Is This a Joke?"

In case you didn't know, Idris Elba — aka People's Sexiest Man Alive — isn't just a great actor; he's an amazing DJ, as well. In fact, he's so good at dropping beats that he performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding back in May. On Wednesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 46-year-old actor reminisced on the special occasion and the moment Harry asked him to DJ at the ceremony. "Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed," he said. "And he was like, 'Hey, man, what are you doing on the day [of the wedding]?' He goes, 'Would you DJ at my wedding?' I was like, 'Is this a joke? Are you joking?'"

Evidently, Harry wasn't kidding around, and Idris was able to mix some sounds at the event. Above, watch Idris detail the story in full and talk about his upcoming gig at Coachella — which may or may not involve him wearing a flower crown and G-string.
