South Africans are not happy with the decision of a
foreigner acting the role of Nelson Mandela in his long awaited biopic but what
they won’t want to hear is the news of the unpreparedness of the actor in
question. British actor and Golden Globe Award winner Idris Alba has been
casted as Nelson Mandela in the film version of the book “A Long Walk to
Freedom” which chronicles the struggles and rise to political power of African
icon, Nelson Mandela.
Idris Elba is scared because he believes he is not prepared
enough for the challenge. The star of
“The Wire” who is currently in Atlanta filming “No Good Deed” told New York
Magazine “ It’s one of my biggest opportunities, and I can’t think about
preparation or where my head is at. I just get this sinking feeling as soon as
I open my mouth. I wish I wasn’t working directly up to it”
After Terrence Howard (Winnie) and Morgan
Freeman (Invictus), Idris Alba will be the third actor to portray Nelson
Mandela.
