IDRIS ELBA RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER SUFFERING ASTHMA ATTACK ON PLANE

Idris Elba was rushed to hospital after suffering an asthma attack on an aeroplane bound for South Africa, last night. The 41-year-old actor had been due to fly to Johannesburg to attend a press conference for his new movie 'Mandela: A Long Walk of Freedom' (as Mandela in the picture on the left) but was instead rushed to hospital in the UK after having the attack.

The film's producer Anant Singh, told reporters;  'Idris is in hospital after an asthma attack on the plane last night.' The actor is expected to make a full recovery soon. Elba, who spent a night on Robben Island, locked in a cell next to the one where Mandela was jailed for 18 years, has Mandela's approval to play him in the new biopic.
