My dad is a British icon – people beg to be my step mum when they find out as most have had a crush on him for 15 years
A WOMAN has revealed that her father is a British icon and people beg to be her step mum when they find out.
The 22-year-old recently took to social media to show off a billboard of her dad - leaving many totally gobsmacked.
Isan Elba confirmed that her father is in fact Idris Elba - the English actor, rapper and singer, best known for his role as ‘Stringer’ in The Wire and DCI John Luther in the BBC One series Luther.
In a short clip, we saw Isan stand in front of Idris Elba’s Calvin Klein billboard, as the much-loved icon posed for the black-and-white image.
But Isan wasn’t totally thrilled to see the huge picture of her dad, as she wrote: “When they replace the pictures of Jeremy Allen White with your dad…”
The young woman turned around to look at the huge image of her father, as she covered her face in embarrassment.

Isan later penned: “I think this counts as an original experience…”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @isanelba, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was shared just 12 hours ago, but has quickly racked up a staggering 894,700 views.
Social media users were totally stunned that Isan was in fact Idris’ daughter - and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “I love your dad.”
Another added: “I have had a crush on your dad for 15 years so this is a huge win for me.”
A third commented: “Big flex, love him.”
At the same time, many social media users joked around and begged to get close to Idris - despite the fact that he is married to model, activist, and beauty mogul Sabrina Dhowre Elba.
One user wrote: “I want to be your step mum so bad!”
A second agreed: “I’m suddenly ready to be a stepmom.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “I mean, legitimately asking if you want more siblings. I'm down.”
Not only this, but people begged Isan to send their messages to her father.
One asked: “Tell your dad I said hi.”
Another requested: “Please tell your dad I NEED him.”
One Idris fan shared: “Put in a good word or something for me.”
Whilst another admitted: “Tell your dad I’m in love with him.”
Isan is just one of Idris’ two children - as he also has a son named Winston.
The Luther actor shares his daughter Isan with ex-wife Hanne "Kim" Nørgaard and his son Winston with ex-girlfriend Naiyana Garth.
Talking about his children, the icon told PEOPLE: “They’re a part of me.
“They are the reason I get up and do it.
“When it’s a hard day and I think about bringing them up, I go, ‘Thank you for existing so I have a purpose’.”
Not only this, but the actor and DJ explained that having children has helped him to nurture his relationship with himself.
