Idris Elba gushed about why Kate Winslet is one of the best actors he’s ever worked with, and aww

Idris Elba makes is so easy to love him. Elba just said that Kate Winslet is among the best actors he’s ever worked with, and now we appreciate him that much more. Elba and Winslet star in the plane crash story The Mountain Between Us, out this weekend. We already can’t wait to see the movie, ever since Winslet opened up about her awkward sex scene with Elba. Now, we’re even more excited.

Kate Winslet is one of our generation’s greatest and most beloved actresses.

We’ve loved her since Titanic and have followed her through everything from The Reader to our always-fave The Holiday.

We know Winslet is a fantastic thespian, and having Elba back us up on this is a dream. When Entertainment Weekly asked Elba who the best actor he’s worked with is, he was stuck.

"I don't want to offend anyone, but I think it's a cross between Naomie Harris and Kate Winslet. Both of them are like pure deliverance in every single take."

Boy has some great taste! Elba went on to discuss how Winslet is always 100% prepared.

"She’s like, ‘Did you know that ice doesn’t actually turn that color when it hits this type of water?' She’s that rehearsed."

Winslet is everything.

We can’t wait to see the chemistry between these two incredibly attractive and talented human beings. And thanks to Twitter, we know the dog doesn’t die, so we’re even more in.

Spoiler Alert! The dog lives. See Kate Winslet and @IdrisElba in The #MountainBetweenUs, in theaters Friday. https://t.co/ZHR35DuNMn pic.twitter.com/tN9lIITYXC
