Dave Chappelle ‘Used to Buy Weed’ Off Idris Elba

Dave Chappelle says actor Idris Elba sold him marijuana.

During an interview with podcast superstar Joe Rogan, Chappelle used Elba as a perfect example of why one should treat service people with kindness — because you’ll never know where they’ll end up.

He said, “Idris Elba, the famous actor, used to be a security guard at [comedy club] Caroline’s on Broadway. I used to buy weed from him.”

Before his breakout role as intelligent thug Stringer Bell on David Simon’s seminal HBO series “The Wire” in 2004, Elba worked the door at the famous New York City comedy haunt.

Elba went on to become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars with film credits including Ridley Scott’s 2007 film “American Gangster,” the “Thor” movie franchise, “The Mountain Between Us” and the acclaimed crime drama series “Luther.”

In 2015, he received high marks for his leading role in “Beasts of No Nation.”
