Wedding DJ and sexiest man alive Idris Elba gave a little insight on what the pair requested to hear on their special day. The Luther star shared that the Duchess of Sussex personally sent him a list of songs. Though he didn’t give away all the details, he revealed that the bride requested Whitney Houston’s 1987 hit, I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

When asked if the California-native requested to hear tunes from rappers Dr. Dre, Tupac or Snoop Dogg (who are all also from the Golden State), Idris had a piece of advice. “Ask Harry and Meghan.” The exact playlist and who hit the dance floor will probably go with the 41-year-old to his grave. Idris was happy to share how he landed one of the best gigs on the planet. “Harry and I, we’ve hung out a couple of times through his dad – his dad’s charity the Prince’s Trust helped me out as a young actor. So, I do a lot of work with them, Harry and Prince William a few times,” he told Ellen DeGeneres in February.
“And Harry came up to a couple of parties that I DJ’d, and he was like ‘Hey man, what are you doing on this date?’ And I was like ‘Nothing,’ he goes, ‘Would you DJ at my wedding? I was like ‘Is this a joke?’ Are you joking? And he’s like serious. As for the experience, the star shared: “It was great.”
