At the annual ceremony for the presentation of pre-New Year titles, Idris Elba became a knight of the Order of the British Empire. This information was reported by the "Russian Service of the BBC".

He was honored with this title for his work in the field of charity, particularly through his Elba Hope Foundation, which provides assistance to children.

Known for roles such as Nelson Mandela in the film "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" and detective John Luther in the series "Luther," he will now be referred to as Sir Idris.

In response to the title, the actor spoke about the importance of raising awareness of the need for ongoing support for youth and that the responsibility for finding alternatives to violence lies with all of us.

In his youth, Elba received a grant from the Prince of Wales's Foundation, which allowed him to study at the National Youth Music Theatre, leading to his success in an acting career.

To date, the king has awarded titles to 1,157 people from various fields, including public service, the arts, science, sports, and politics.
