Idris Elba and Jude Bellingham put on a very animated display as the unlikely pals party until 3am with Paul Mescal at the Chiltern Firehouse

I’m deeply moved by Idris Elba’s inspiring journey from a young Londoner with a dream to an international superstar. His connection to The Prince’s Trust is particularly heartwarming for me, as it resonates with my own background growing up in the UK.

Idris Elba and his unexpected friend Jude Bellingham arrived at the Chiltern Firehouse past midnight, both in high spirits to join Paul Mescal for a night of partying.

After enjoying the party thrown by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, the 51-year-old actor and the 21-year-old English footballer showed great enthusiasm and embraced each other warmly.

When I have a packed night ahead, I reach for comfort and ease with a simple yet stylish look. I grab my favorite Disney DSYF hoodie with its cozy hood, pairing it with some comfy shorts.

The Hollywood star finished off his outfit with striking contrasting white sneakers and coordinating designer socks.

While Jude donned a black satin suit adorned with jewels along the edge, underneath he wore a gray vest.

Despite arriving together Idris headed home around 3.30am alongside stunning wife Sabrina, 32. 

At the glamorous Dr Dre gathering, where she was joined by her spouse and stepdaughter Isan (age 22), the radiant woman donned a snug lemon sweater and denims.

Last week, football enthusiast Idris smiled next to King Charles at a public appearance, demonstrating their shared excitement for the upcoming Euro finals with England. Earlier in the day, they had a meeting concerning the future plans of the King’s Trust, which Idris is a distinguished member of.

The 75-year-old monarch chose to wear a pinstripe suit and flashed a broad grin while holding up an England jersey, featuring a performer and musician, at St James’s Palace before the unfortunate 2-1 defeat of England against Spain.

Idris put on an elegant blue outfit, including a Bukayo Saka jersey, for photos after the occasion.

The conversation covered various topics, including the charity’s current efforts to aid young people and suggestions for future projects that could potentially reduce youth violence in the United Kingdom.

The duo discussed potential partnerships between the Trust and the Elba Hope Foundation in Sierra Leone, a country where Idris Elba holds citizenship and is involved.

They have made a commitment to collaborate on a fresh project called “Creative Futures,” which aims to motivate young people using art and provide them with opportunities for employment in the creative sector.

Idris and Charles participated in a meeting along with the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and representatives from youth groups to listen to their perspectives.

During his teenage years, Idris received a £1,500 grant from The Prince’s Trust. This grant enabled him to attend the National Youth Music Theatre. Since then, Idris has achieved international stardom.

He additionally DJ’ed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, further connecting him to the royal family.

In 2020, Idris was part of a group of celebrities and creatives who expressed gratitude to The Prince’s Trust in a charity video. This was in honor of the organization’s achievement of helping over one million young people.

In the video, the actor acknowledged that the Trust played a crucial role in helping him kick-start his current hugely successful acting career.

Around eighteen, I was blessed with the opportunity to try out for The Prince’s Trust in a heartbeat.

‘I was awarded £1,500 by The Prince’s Trust that gave me my start and my career.’ 

Idris, born in east London with Sierra Leonean and Ghanaian parents, is now widely recognized for his television and film roles, earning him Emmy and BAFTA awards.

For over a decade, The Luther Star has collaborated with The Trust. In 2010, he filmed a brief video capturing his encounter with Dante Lauder-Hawkins during their charitable youth work initiatives.
