Idris Elba is being considered as a top candidate for Labour's Mayor of London position due to his activism related to knife crime, as well as his celebrity status. Known for his notable roles in film and television, Elba's local roots and thoughtful campaigning approach position him favorably in the eyes of Labour insiders. While other politicians are also in the race, Elba's recent documentary on knife crime has been particularly impactful, showcasing his ability to engage with serious social issues amid his fame.
Idris has star appeal but he is also a thoughtful political campaigner, a source told the paper. Labour has a choice about who we choose to run in London.
Elba, who was previously considered a frontrunner for the role of James Bond, was born in Hackney and currently lives in east London.
