At this point in Idris Elba's career, why is he taking roles like this?

[Thegospel]

Once again nikkas wondering why rich nikkas are getting money. Y’all so lost on here

 

[PortCityProphet]

The show was enjoyable I watched it. Can’t wait for season 2

Spreaaaad looooove

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

I don't understand what's the issue with doing a Netflix show?

 

[DaRealness]

He's happy where he is. He's already top tier status, he ain't starving and he got a fly ass fiancee sitting on his face every night. He's good.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

wtf u on? looks funny AF!

 

[Child_Of_God]

Show don’t really look that bad.

 

[Breh13]

I see no issue, let him eat.

 

[NSSVO]

Did you watch it? Was actually a halfway decent story that was fun to watch.

 

[1LurkerChick9]

I knew exactly what role you were talking about before I opened the thread

Trailer is an okay concept, the babysitting the lil white girl is just random as hell

 

[eufemism]

Idris Elba has been getting by on name only for years now

When was beasts of no nation like 2014?

 

[Jasonmask]

Show don’t really look that bad.

Yeah I almost watched it yesterday

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I don’t care if he created it or not, this shyt looks terrible like 98% of everything on Netflix.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Tear down one to big up another smh. Crab shyt

Meanwhile johnny depp is allowed to have all these quirky weird roles and he gets praise

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Doesn't change what I said. You say he isn't a good. You even choose to explain why you think he isn't a good actor. You are entitled to your opinion.

Instead you decided to post two black actors that you consider to be better. Like I said crab shyt.

I hold my actors to actual standards, regardless if they are black or not. Take your hotep babble somewhere else.

 

[itsyoung!!]

what level is that?? his peak role is still a HBO show, 10 years ago... TheShadeRoom likes and comments arent career indicators.. whats his biggest role besides The Wire and a side character in Thor? I literally cant think of a single big movie besides that

Meanwhile johnny depp is allowed to have all these quirky weird roles and he gets praise

Johnny Depp is one of the most shyt on actors in hollywood... what are you talking about
