Elba. Idris Elba.

Madonna just announced that the dreamy Luther star—who's also a DJ when he isn't acting or addressing James Bond rumors—will open her Rebel Hearts Tour stop in Berlin tomorrow night.

The concert taking place at Mercedes Benz Arena is one of the season's most highly anticipated shows and it just got even better.

The 43-year-old Elba—whose varied roles have included a drug kingpin on The Wire, the titular icon in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, the god Heimdall in Thor and regular old Charles on The Office—actually began his career as a DJ long before establishing his name in acting.

The British thesp has recently been spinning surprise sets in small East London bars and also thrilling thousands at some of Ibiza's top clubs.

Living the Dream.

Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour will touch down in 11 countries in Europe as the Material Girl continues to crisscross the globe.

Fans are going crazy over her latest special guest and can't wait to see who Madonna will collaborate with next. We're taking our guesses—what are some of yours?
