Idris Elba took a commute down reminiscence lane during the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards and recalled a hilarious story involving Robert De Niro.
“When I was just starting out on this business, I was 19 years previous. I scammed my manner as much as Robert De Niro’s office in Tribeca. Auditions were going down for A Bronx Tale, and they started that week,” Elba, 51, said on Saturday, February 24, all the way through the “I Am an Actor” section.
Elba explained that even though he was “very overdue and wasn’t even invited” he used his “English allure” to persuade a safety guard and receptionist that he had an appointment — and was a success. (The 1993 movie starred De Niro, 80, and Chazz Palminteri, marking De Niro’s directorial debut.)
“Now the lady sent me up into the elevator — do you take into accout when the elevators had slightly key and you went in and went up?” he stated, adding that he “psyched” himself in the elevator and did his affect of De Niro.
He persisted, “And that’s when I ended up in A Bronx Tale. No, I’m lying now. I wasn’t in A Bronx Tale. I got kicked out of the office by Robert De Niro’s producing spouse on the time. A gesture that I took to mean, ‘Kid, you’re going to head puts.’ I’m Idris Elba, and I’m an actor.”
The “I Am an Actor” section began at the first SAG Awards in 1995, and has since featured several stars all through the annual awards rite. Along with Elba, this year’s celebrities incorporated Michael Cera, Colman Domingo and Hannah Waddingham.
For her phase, Waddingham, 49, recalled enjoying the Lady of the Lake in the West End production of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

So that’s one show with a are living mouse in my get dressed, and two shows with it useless. Oh, the glamour!”
