Actor Idris Elba -
Avalon / Starface
Idris Elba owes a lot to Prince Charles.
Indeed, it is largely thanks to the foundation The Prince's Trust that the actor was able to launch his career.
“When I was about 18, I had the incredible experience of auditioning for The Prince's Trust.
I was rewarded with 1,500 books which allowed me to start my career, ”he recalled in a video posted on the Instagram account of the foundation, of which he is now an ambassador.

With this sum, Idris Elba had been able to move away from the difficult district of Hackney, in the north of London, to take courses at the prestigious National Youth Music Theater.
Similar destinies
Following Idris Elba, other personalities such as
Selma

David Oyelowo or musicians Naughty Boy and Guy Garvey have recounted similar journeys.
“I was 17 and really wanted to join the National Youth Music Theater, but my parents couldn't afford it,” Oyelowo said.
I received the award and was able to enter.
This is really where the desire to become an actor was cemented.
And that's also where I met my wife, Jessica, so I have to thank The Prince's Trust for a lot of things.
