00:00 How fun was it playing Knuckles?

00:02 They said that you were the funniest on the cast.

00:04 - Oh, they said that?

00:05 - Yeah.

00:06 - Oh, I'm pretty funny.

00:07 No, I'm not really known for being funny,

00:08 but the truth is, it was a lot of fun

00:10 trying to bring this character to life.

00:12 He's quite mysterious,

00:14 and he speaks in monosyllabic words, you know?

00:17 So, it is a very deep voice.

00:19 So, it was a lot of fun, actually.

00:20 It was good.

00:21 - Word on the street is,

00:21 Idris Elba needs to be in everything,

00:23 and those aren't just my words.

00:24 Those are from Lupita Nyong'o,

00:25 who I interviewed two years ago,

00:27 when I asked her what celebrity

00:28 she would want to be in Black Panther.

00:30 What do you think about that?

00:31 You being in Black Panther.

00:32 - I would love to be in Black Panther.

00:34 Yeah, it's an amazing cast, amazing storyline.

00:37 Ryan Coogler's amazing.

00:38 The whole cast is incredible.

00:40 Let's make it happen.

00:42 - The villain, or?

00:44 - Why always gotta be the villain?

00:45 - Okay, fine, fine, fine.

00:46 - I mean, come on, why?

00:47 - It's just my guilty pleasure.

00:47 - But the villain would be a lot more fun.

00:49 - Ooh, I'm feeling it.

00:50 Idris Elba, yes, Black Panther.

00:51 Final question for you.

00:53 Okay, I would be remiss if I did not

00:55 come all the way over here and ask you about 007.

00:57 I was so sad last year, as well as so many fans,

01:00 when we learned that you were not gonna be playing that role.

01:02 You would've been the first Black 007.

01:04 But now, rumor has it, that Henry Cavill

01:07 and Aaron Taylor Johnson might just be playing it.

01:12 What do you think about those choices?

01:14 - I mean, amazing, right?

01:16 What can I say?

01:17 - Who would you choose?

01:18 - I don't know, actually, no.

01:19 To be honest, I really, I stopped answering questions

01:21 about James Bond because I literally start falling asleep.

01:24 Not with you, though.

01:25 - Don't you dare.

01:26 - Not with you.

01:27 - I'm not gonna answer that, though.

01:28 You're just a rumor.

01:29 - It's just, you know, it's a rumor

01:30 that keeps coming and keeps coming.

01:31 - But neither of those guys, though,

01:32 you're not gonna get it.

01:33 - I think they're both great actors.

01:34 I think they'd both be great.

01:35 - And final question for you.

01:37 That woman is gorgeous.

01:40 She is beautiful.

01:41 I have y'all's skincare line.

01:43 She is stunning.

01:44 How do you keep it so beautiful in your relationship?

01:47 How do you keep it so spicy, Idris?

01:48 - Wow, we have to be truthful and honest,

01:51 lots of love, lots of kindness.

01:53 - I love that.

01:53 - Kindness is important.

01:54 And, you know, she's a good, she's a good, good people.

01:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
