Idris Elba<\/a><\/strong> scored the ultimate DJ gig last year; he played at Prince Harry<\/a><\/strong> and Meghan Markle<\/a><\/strong>‘s royal wedding in May.<\/p>\n

How? By royal request.<\/p>\n

“Harry and I, we’ve hung out a couple of times through his dad, his dad’s charity The Prince’s Trust helped me out as a young actor. So I do a lot of work with them, Harry and Prince William<\/a><\/strong> a few times,” the 46-year-old\u00a0Luther<\/em> actor and\u00a0People<\/em>‘s Sexiest Man Alive of 2018<\/a>\u00a0said\u00a0on The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/a><\/em>\u00a0on Wednesday. “And Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed, and he was like, ‘Hey man, what are you doing on the date?’ And I was like, ‘Nothing.’ He goes, ‘Hmm, would you DJ at my wedding?’ I was like, ‘Is this a joke? Are you joking?’ And he’s like, serious.”<\/p>\n

“It was great,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
