Former "The Wire" star Idris Elba was left homeless during the breakdown of his marriage. The British actor was wed to Dormowa Sherman and they have a seven-year-old daughter, Isan, together. 37-year-old Elba admits the relationship unraveled while he was struggling to find work, and he ended up sleeping in his car while he attempted to land an acting job.
He tells Britain's Now magazine, "I was going through a really tough time some years ago. I couldn't get an acting job and my marriage was in a horrible place, so I ended up homeless. I slept rough in my brown Chevrolet Astro van for eight weeks."
And Idris Elba recently kicked start his acting career by documenting troubles which are faced by youth of modern Britain. On his project, he shared, "I grew up around people who have gone through hardship and crime and I knew people who were criminals. My character in The Wire harvests kids who have come out of school and into crime. But there are a lot of talented kids out there who just need a foot in the door."

I've seen Luther and I'am proud.Untill now never seen a black leader-actor on BBC. Wish you good luck.
Mr. Elba is an awesome actor - even in roles that you dont't like to see him play [Stringer] he still captures you and draws you in. Hope to see more of him on the big screen. See is Luther series - he is dynamic! Mr. Elba puts me in the mind of a man I once loved dearly.

I am a Latina woman and have never dated men other than Latin men but boy oh boy does Idris do something for me, he is a hottie! I LOVED him in the movie Daddy's Girls and Obsessed, now I am going to have to check him out in the other movies he stars in, you are a great actor and I pray for your continued success! Muay!
hmmmm marriage is for better or worst look now you are a great success congrats to you continue to be the greates father god bless!
Idris is sure to exceed higher than his own expectations. I can definitely relate to his experience somewhat, as I went through a similiar ordeal. Although, I believed in someone more than himself, and when everything moved in a positive direction, more problems came with more money. I'm praying for Idris and his daughter, for their happiness and his success.
