In an Exclusive interview with MTV, Actor Idris Elba shed some light on what would have become the most awful event during the filming of the ground breaking art 'Beast of No Nation' .Writer&director Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts Of No Nation” premiered on Netflix in October with Idris Elba as its leading man. The recently announced “Star Trek Beyond” actor plays the leader of a child soldier regiment named “Commandant,” but he apparently almost didn’t make it to the end of the film at all.

No, not the character — Elba himself.

“I nearly died,” Elba recently told The Jonathan Ross Show, as The Guardian reports. “We went to this waterfall and in this scene my character is standing there watching all the child soldiers go past. Now in the setup of that, the stunt co-ordinator says, ‘Listen everyone, this is a waterfall, that’s a 90-, 100-foot drop down there and the ground is very slippery, just be careful!’”

“I put my foot on this rock just to hang out and chill out while they were setting up and as I’m doing that it’s slippery, obviously. I slip,” he continued. “I put my hand on this tree — it’s not a tree, it’s a branch. It snaps and I go literally about six feet before I go bang over and I got caught by the security guy.”

As crazy as the fall was, the rescue itself sounds even crazier. But we know Elba. He’s not a dude that could go out like that. No, we’ve binged “The Wire.” We know.
