Idris Elba posts semi-naked photo on Twitter

Actor Idris Elba was left embarrassed when he accidental posted a semi-naked photograph of himself on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The 'Wire' star, who intended to send the picture to a girlfriend, said he was left mortified after he mistakenly shared it with his 970,000 followers in July 2011, reported Contactmusic.

"I was sending it to a chick and by mistake I tweeted it. It was a horrible moment but it could have been worse!," he said.
