One fan he even had a theory about Elba’s cameo. “Taylor Swift using an Idris Elba interview clip at the beginning of ‘London Boy’ was done for me, I think,” they wrote. While another believed this was going to lead to big things for the actor. “Taylor Swift is going to give Idris Elba a Grammy,” a fan tweeted.
