It is well known that Beyoncé is one of the biggest stars in the pop industry, and everybody would love a taste of sharing the centre stage with her.
Like most people, when Idris Elba was put on a spot to have a lip-lock with the star for the hit 2009’s Obsessed: it was both nervousness and excitement.
Talking to Contact Music, the actor said it was weird when he met Beyoncé because within 20 minutes they had to kiss.
“I wasn’t complaining. It was full on, we had to do these pictures for the wall, and it was full-on kissing. I was like, ‘Oh god, I’m kissing Beyoncé, I can’t believe it.”
The Grammy Award winner also sang praises for the Luther star for helping her comfortably fit into the role, saying he’s amazing.
“And, you know, he brought out a lot of wonderful things in my performance. And, you know, he is a student and a great teacher. And we’ve spent a lot of time just with the two of us going back and forth with the script and making adjustments and making it our own, I learned so much working from him.” – the “single ladies” hitmaker said.
Helmed by Steve Shill, Obsessed saw Idris Elba and Beyoncé as a married couple.
13 years ago, "Obsessed" was released.
