Idris Elba made headlines this week when a comment he shared about coronavirus was interpreted as suggesting that the world observe an annual lockdown week in remembrance of the covid-19 chapter in history.
As we reported, the actor was one of the first high-profile names to reveal that he had contracted coronavirus.

Lazy journalism and click bate thirst will get your words twisted real quick.The actual POINT was that agriculture and the rural poor will suffer long after this time. Focus don’t hocus.”
Well, we guess that settles that. What are…

He’s a cornball just a good actor but In real life he’s wack
He sounds like Trump putting his foot in his mouth and then attacking the media, labeling the Associated Press as “lazy journalism” and “click bait.” They made no mistake about his words (“I think that the world should dedicate a week of quarantine every year”) to which he gave context when he talked about animals going into hibernation and the need for us to give the world a break.
Idris just had his Netflix series canceled and I can’t help but think it’s related to him talking stupid. Conservatives in the industry are working to put his career on permanent lockdown. He did it to himself.
Excuse me eWhat did u dnt understand when he say he dnt say anything about a week ,or year ,just a way to remember this time and all people who are dead.so its a first time for.u to hear.that journalism.twist word for sensation or buzz or its just ur hate for.black people
Oh yes daddy! Still want to see that bulge tho
So glad this pandemic is exposing this tone deaf celebrities for what they truly are: narcissistic piece of dead air!
So easy for you to declare a week of lockdown remembrance when you have millions of dollars in Savings and Mansions as big as Tesco to quarantine in.
I dnt understand the hate when someone say he dnt say anything about a year or week lockdown but just to find a way to remember this moment and all people who are dead
Its right learn and understand what u learn its not the same seriously
Like its the first time to see a journalist twisted word for buzz or sensational
He’s right.
After Rona there should be a new rule for celebrities: Do your job and stop talking. We don’t care for your opinions.
