Idris Elba blames not working for his split with girlfriend

Idris Elba has blamed his break-up with his girlfriend on not being in work.

The Luther star spoke about his split from Naiyana Garth last month in a rare interview on his private life.

Elba, 43, talked about acting as “therapy” and said:

“Therapy is a good way to cleanse my... When I’m not acting is when my life falls to sh**. It’s really interesting.

“I’m going through this b*****ks now ’cos I’m not on a film set. Had I been on a set I wouldn’t even have noticed. Probably.”

He and Naiyana, 28, have a son, Winston, two. They broke up days after he was seen partying in New York with Naomi Campbell.

Elba told Esquire magazine he realised at 14 he was sexy. Now women of all ages fancied him but added: “I sound a tw*t saying that.”

What matters is the Gesture

Most often times people are more concerned about the quantity or quality of gifts they receive but what really matters is the gesture and the thought. This however does not mean we should take advantage of this and keep giving silly gifts to people.

Realistically, When someone hands you a gift think of the following before quantifying the gift.

1. The person recalled its an occasion important to you.
2. If there is no occasion, it means the person saw a gift and thought 'this will be nice for him/her'. So the person actually took some time to think of you.
3. Consider the fact that the person must have struggled thinking whats best to buy before he/she arrived at that final gift.

So before you look down or judge, think of all the processes involved in getting you the gift before sizing it up.

Finally your judgment may be based on the extent of relationship you have with the person, so you may do well to judge.
