    Idris Elba plans to give up acting to focus on directing "eventually"

    The 53-year-old star is promoting short film Dust To Dreams, and while it may be his first venture behind the camera since his 2018 movie Yardie, he admitted that is where he sees his future, rather than on screen.


    Speaking at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, the Daily Mail online reports he said: "I'm hoping that my fan base as an actor isn't mad at me. Eventually I want to transfer to be a director fully.
