He's got extra special support! Idris Elba puts his arm around Nelson Mandela's daughter Zindzi at Berlin premiere of biopic Long Walk To Freedom

After winning over critics and cinema-goers alike with his portrayal of the late Nelson Mandela, Idris Elba also appears to have another, very special fan.
The actor was spotted at the Berlin premiere of his latest movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, on Tuesday evening with the former South African president's daughter, Zindzi.
Posing on the red carpet together, the pair, who previously met at a charity gala last year, looked smart for the occasion.

The actor looked dapper in a dark grey suit and red tie for the screening after the pair attended the Nelson Mandela Charity Gala together earlier in the day.

Zindzi opted for a long black asymmetrical dress, complete with silver embellishment on the shoulder, and a matching shawl to keep out the chill.
She also opted for a large clutch bag with silver stud detailing, peep-toe heels and elegant drop earrings, while chatting to director Justin Chadwick and producer Anant Singh.

Idris, who appeared on The Graham Norton Show last week, was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in the movie but missed out to Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club.
The film itself has also been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures - Original Song, which included the likes of Bono and The Edge.
Long Walk To Freedom - which was released in the UK earlier this month - also stars Winnie Madikizela while documenting the life of Mandela.

Idris previously spoke to the TODAY show earlier this month in which he said he was taken aback by Mandela's blessing for the film.
He said: '(Mandela) saw some of the film. He gave his blessing. You know, I don't look like Nelson Mandela — that wasn't in his interest.
'I think he wanted to find someone who could bring that spirit alive. I was really sort of taken aback by that.'
