Idris Elba Makes Fart Jokes in His Wedding Anniversary Tribute to Wife

Idris Elba is celebrating five years of marriage to his wife Sabrina Elba — with fart jokes!

The Knuckles star, 51, posted a parody video to Instagram on Friday, April 26, in which he did a narration about passing gas in the style of a National Geographic commentator.

“Human beings find the sound of flatulence very funny,” he narrated a video of the model, 34, wearing a robe and looking at her phone.

“Trying not to laugh is very difficult,” Idris continued. “Sabrina has been married to her farty-pants husband for five years. She tries her hardest not to encourage him [farting] by laughing. She knows if she doesn’t keep a straight face, he will keep going…and going…and this behavior is true love. Her husband is a lucky motherf—–.”

In the video, Sabrina, who is also a UN Goodwill Ambassador, continued going about her business as her husband presumably filmed her, adding hearts around her head when he talked about true love.

The tribute also featured video footage of a call between the couple in which Sabrina said, “Even when you fart,” presumably in response to her husband asking her something about love.

“‘Cause you fart too, so it’s all good,” Idris told his wife in the footage.

“I never have ever,” she hilariously answered him. “You used to do that all the time.”

The video ended with footage of Sabrina laughing somewhere outside of their home, presumably at her husband behind the camera.

“Five year anniversary ︱I love you Sabbi,” text at the end of the short film read.

Idris captioned the post: “Happy 5th year wedding anniversary Sabbi. I love you like cooked food ALWAYS. “is that the game ??” 😂😂.”

Sabrina had more sentimental things to say while reflecting on her 2019 wedding to the Suicide Squad star — which took place in  Marrakesh, Morocco — on the Wednesday, April 17, episode of  The Jennifer Hudson Show.

“It goes by so fast,” she told Jennifer Hudson. “I can’t even believe it. I feel like it was, like, yesterday. We’ve been together seven years now, that means. That’s wild to me.”
