Idris Elba Hobbles Out of London Restaurant on Crutches After Injuring His Knee
Idris
Elba isn’t letting his injured leg get in the way of his social life.
TheDark Tower star, 44, was spotted hobbling out of a
swanky London restaurant Thursday night on crutches after suffering a mysterious
injury.
Despite the bad leg, Elba seemed to be in good spirits leaving Sexy Fish
restaurant where he grabbed a bite to eat with friends including British
comedian Jack Whitehall.
Elba first addressed the injury on Twitter last week, when he apologized for
having to miss the Boardmasters surf and music festival in Cornwall due to the
bad leg.
“#Boardmasters, regretfully I will not be able to make it down tonight due to
an injury. Absolutely gutted! Hopefully catch you next year,” he wrote.

Although the nature of the injury remains unclear, the actor, who also
moonlights as a DJ, is an avid athlete, and has recently taken up
kickboxing.
The Brit made his debut as a pro kick-boxer in October and pulled out a win,
leading to what his Dark Tower costar Matthew
McConaughey refers to as Elba’s “undefeated K1 career.”
“One fight. Who’s counting?” he previously told
PEOPLE. “I just wasn’t beaten.”
Elba trained
for the October 28 match while shooting the Stephen King adaptation, in
which he plays justice defender Gunslinger.
“I trained twice a day,” he says. “I was quickly becoming in incredible shape
to endure some of the stuff we did. To be honest, the action sequences were what
they were and done in pockets, but I was in good physical and mental shape.”
