Idris Elba could have proposed to his girlfriend anywhere in the world, but instead he chose to get down on bended-knee at a screening of one of his own films.
The actor popped the question to partner Sabrina Dhowre on Saturday (10 February) as they watched a preview of his directorial debut โYardieโ at the Rio Cinema in east London.
The proposal was captured on video by fellow cinema-goers who couldnโt quite believe they were watching one of the countryโs most famous actors ask his girlfriend to marry him.
In the clip, which was posted online by David Marsden-Sainou, โIdris can be seen down on one knee, before Sabrina is heard saying yes, much to the delight of the audience.
The cinema later confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: โAnother @riocinema first! Still 5 days to Valentines Day but @idriselba went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend live on stage this morning before a preview of his film.โ
It is believed Idris began dating Sabrina - a model and former Miss Vancouver - in early 2017.
It will be Idrisโs third wedding, having previously been married to Hanne Norgaard and Sonya Hamlin.
