IDRIS ELBA

Despite being OK’d for travel, they’re staying put he said on Twitter: “We’ve passed the quarantine period but we’re a little bit stuck in limbo. We can’t get a flight back home. So we just have to sit still for a little bit. Other than that, we’re OK, and we’re so thankful for that. I think the worst of it has probably passed.”
“It’s weird because I never sit still, Sabrina never sits still either and I think she’s finding it harder,” he added. “She’s getting cabin fever … but we're both good mentally, just trying to stay optimistic.”
