Idris Elba broke the hearts of millions of female fans yesterday when he tied the knot with model Sabrina Dhowre at a lavish ceremony in Marrakech. In images shot by British Vogue, the Luther star, 46, wearing a custom-made Ozwald Boateng suit, married 30-year-old Sabrina at the exclusive Ksar Char-Bagh hotel in front of 150 guests, including Idris’s 17-year-old daughter Isan, who was a bridesmaid. Diana Ross was also rumoured to be performing a string of her best-known Motown hits at the newlyweds’ festival-themed party last night, having flown in from Los Angeles.

"broke the hearts of millions of female fans," did he?
Language is a little over the top, I say.

Aside from black people doing regular black people stuff, who the Hell are these kids? I never heard of them and have absolutely no interest in hearing of their exploits again.

Hope the marriage lasts long enough to get the thank you notes sent out.

I remember him as the black Old Spice guy. There was also talk of making him the first black James Bond. I think all of that was around the time of the black Annie movie. I thought we were a little oversaturated with the "smashing of stereotypes" and kind of put it all on ignore.

Saw this BS on TV last night. A one minute story on someone I´ve never heard of, and the story never said why this guy is famous or why millions of women would be sad because he got married. When I saw a photo of this so called famous person, I wondered what women saw in this guy.

Idris Elba must have a really good press agent.

I was wrong about him being the black Old Spice guy. It was a fellow named Isaiah Mustafa. Another famous person I´ve never heard of.

I thought it tended to put the Daily Mail in perspective. And Harry and Meghan. All in one fell swoop.
A glance at the DM’s righthand column of articles and photos tells quite a lot about its real bread and butter….

He played the spaceship pilot in Prometheus.
Evidently that´s all it takes these days.
(and wasn´t this bandwidth well-spent?)

For weeks now I´ve been having difficulty w/the Daily Mail Site.
Site is extremely slow to load and scroll through, and if I click on an article before it even loads entirely the page goes blank, and I cannot get it back so have to start all over again.. over and over...thought maybe because it´s loaded w/moving videos and ads. I´ve given up on it.

"broke the hearts of millions of female fans,"
1. I have no idea who this person is and probably couldn´t pick him out of a police lineup.
2. Like ANY of his "millions of female fans," ever stood a fighting chance!!
3. Hyperbole much, DM??

He was on the cable series "The Wire". I enjoyed his acting.

He´s a good British actor known for his starring role on the TV series, "Luther," in addition to the two mentioned by other posters.

He is actually a very well known and respected actor. He played the Guardian of the Portal in all the Thor movies, and he is also the one that many people want to be the next James Bond. He brings a rugged personality to his roles, and I like to watch him in his movies. Like Denzel Washington, he doesn´t play black, he plays the character who just happens to be black.

OK. In all fairness to Elba, I went and looked him up. It begins to make sense. He is very well-known in the UK. Quite well-spoken (and proud that he sounds American rather than Brit). Quite good-looking. Queen awarded him an OBE for his contributions to acting and the theatre. Probably a flaming liberal, but who knows?

Idris is a great actor. However, any woman who marries him would be wise not to quit her day job. His marriages, girlfriends are quickly over, leaving behind a child here and there.
Actor/celebrity weddings, "baby bumps," and divorces are all about keeping the PR going.

When I heard this on the radio, I thought Idris Elba was the name of some small African nation where they were married and when I heard Sabrina Dhowre I thought it was the "dowry"the bride brought to the husband. Turns out they´re some people who did something in, where was it, oh yeah, Marrakech.

No clue who either one of them is... the bride, 30 has a 17 year old daughter??? Enough for me to know that I would never, ever want to know either one of them.

Idris Elba is a pretty good actor. He was Heimdall in the Thor movies and he was in Pacific Rim among other movies. The rest of the article is just Daily Mail hyperbole

I love reading comments that say they’ve never heard of certain people and couldn’t care less. Why show your ignorance? I’m sure all of the comments would be positive if Elba came out saying he was a big Trump fan. He is a fine actor and congrats to him and his bride.

He´s a British actor who does American accents exceptionally well. Most people who saw The Wire were sure he was from Baltimore. And in the film Molly´s Game, he sounded like a New Yorker.

It seems the 17 year old is daughter of the groom.
If they are happy, I am happy for them. Whoever they are.

I wouldn’t know Idris Elba if I tripped over him, but here he is with his equally unknown bride. In Marrakech! And a very pricey, trendy wedding gift from Harry and Meghan! Wowser!
