On the latest episode of Complex’s “Sneaker Shopping,” Idris Elba revealed that he once floated the idea to Jordan of portraying him in a movie. Michael Jordan turned him down. “I even said to him one time, ‘I want to play you,'” Elba told host Joe La Puma. “He was like, ‘Hm, I’m not ready yet.’ That’s what he said, ‘I’m not ready yet.’ … I was dead serious.
