One of us! Idris Elba too has a celebrity crush on Meryl Streep

Actor Idris Elba says he has a huge crush on veteran actress Meryl Streep. The 43-year-old Star Trek Beyond actor said he became so nervous when he met her that he couldn't utter a word.

"My celebrity crush is Meryl Streep. When I met her, my tongue swelled up in my mouth," Elba said.

Apart from Streep the actor said he is a big fan of Denzel Washington and would love to work with him. "I want to work with Denzel Washington one day. He's a hero of mine."

Elba, who is also a DJ, opened up about his love for music saying he started deejaying when he was just eight years old.

"When I was 8 years old, I deejayed for my mom's and dad's birthday parties and house parties. I felt like a big man. I deejay. I'll shamelessly plug that I just dropped a record of my own called 'Spectacle,' which I edited," he said.
