My celebrity crush is Meryl Streep: Idris Elba

Actor Idris Elba says he has a huge crush on veteran actress Meryl Streep.

The 43-year-old "Star Trek Beyond" actor said he became so nervous when he met her that he couldn't utter a word.

"My celebrity crush is Meryl Streep. When I met her, my tongue swelled up in my mouth," Elba said.

Apart from Streep the actor said he is a big fan of Denzel Washington and would love to work with him.

"I want to work with Denzel Washington one day. He's a hero of mine."

Elba, who is also a DJ, opened up about his love for music saying he started deejaying when he was just eight years old.
 

"When I was 8 years old, I deejayed for my mom's and dad's birthday parties and house parties. I felt like a big man.

I deejay. I'll shamelessly plug that I just dropped a record of my own called 'Spectacle,' which I edited," he said.
