Idris Elba was shocked when Prince Harry asked him to DJ royal wedding

Idris Elba told Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday that Prince Harry asked him to play at wedding to Meghan Markle.

"So Harry and I, we've hung out a couple of times, through his dad," Elba explained. "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 William... And Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed."

"And he was like, 'Hey man, what are you doing on the date?'" Elba, whose stage name is DJ Big Driis, recalled. "And I was like, 'Oh, nothing.' He goes, 'Hmm, would you DJ at my wedding?'"

Elba said he was taken aback by the request and wondered if Prince Harry was joking.
