ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Idris Elba is known for more serious roles, but the gently comedic “In the Long Run” is more reflective of who he is as a person. The comedy series, which just wrapped up its third season on Starz, is based on the actor Elba’s childhood in the Holly Street Estate, a racially diverse public housing community in the Hackney borough of London. “I had to write my own show to get some comedy! ‘The Office’ was amazing, but essentially, my character wasn’t comedic,” Elba said in an interview with The Times. “He was kind of like the tough guy. I find that a lot of the writing about Black culture tends to be about hardships, crime, or tends to have scenarios that feel worthy of a dramatic lens. And when people think about Africa, they tend to think in doom and gloom or stereotypes, which I am not keen to keep fueling. We don’t make light of the racism and adversities at the time on our show, but sometimes with comedy you can cover a bit more ground in a lighter way.” Tap the link in our bio to read the full interview, and find out how @idriselba wanted to turn his parents’ hardships and integration into the U.K. into stories that were lighthearted.
