The handsome Idris Elba stopped by the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show on Wednesday night (October 12). The half-Sierra Leone & half-Ghanian actor talked about how he had to deal with his full name (Idrissa) and control being teased, his miserable experience while working at Ford Motors for two years and his favorite American TV shows while growing up.
The name I was born with was Idrissa. When I got to about 9-year-old. I realized that there was Melissa and Clarissa, I got rid of that ‘-sa’ at the end. I did [have to learn to fight]. Idrissa was not going to stick, so I had to teach people to say, ‘Idris’. So I had them in lock [pretends to beat someone down] and be like, ‘What? Oh, you got it!’
