Idris Elba punched one of his Star Trek: Beyond co-stars and gave him a black eye. Get those deets, plus check out Zoe Saldana pay homage to Prince in Net-A-Porter inside…
Idris Elba has to be more careful with those guns!
Last night, the British hottie hit the carpet for the world premiere of his new movie Star Trek: Beyond at San Diego’s Comic-Con held at Embarcadero Marina Park South. As he made his way down the carpet, the Hollywood actor revealed he hit his co-star Chris Pine so hard during a fight scene; he gave him a black eye!
“We had laughs,” Idris told The Hollywood Reporter. “Chris and I had laughs, and then I gave him a black eye.”
Damn Idris!
He continued to explain,“Well, we were doing a fight scene, and he got a bit cheeky, and I was just like pow! I didn’t mean to do it, but Chris was quite proud of it.”
Ha!
Star Trek: Beyond star Zoe Saldana was also on the scene for the world premiere of the new blockbuster film. The fab mother-of-two rocked a pale blue textured Givenchy haute couture dress by Riccardo Tisci.
Zoe’s hubby Marco Perego was right by her side to celebrate her new movie. The happy couple got some good news this week. Zoe’s Italian-born husband became a U.S. Citizen after a long and grueling process.
The 38-year-old actress expressed her excitement and encouraged others immigrants to never give up when applying for citizenship on her Instagram page. She posted:
Congrats!
Back at the premiere...
Zoe snapped a group pic with her co-stars Chris Pine, John Cho, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Sofia Boutella, and Zachary Quinto, director Justin Lin, and producer J.J. Abrams.

On the magazine front...
Zoe Saldana perfectly channels none other than Prince for Net-A-Porter’s “The Edit.” In the cover story, the Hollywood actress shared her unfiltered thoughts on gender inequality in Hollywood and the importance of why women should support films made by women and for women.
“The high road is no longer silent,” Zoe said. “The high road is speaking up and saying, ‘You’re a d***! What you are doing is unfair. I’m not asking you to idolize me, I’m asking you to pay me equally, because you always come to me whenever you need me for a press tour!’”
She continued, “As women in positions of power, we have to use it to help other women. I got used to being the only girl in the room. Look at The Losers, look at Star Trek... It’s lonely! I couldn’t care less about male-driven stories and war movies, not because I’m not an intellectual individual, but because I want to know what’s happening to a woman.”
As for women not supporting female based films, she said, “The responsibility can’t only fall on women in the public eye. The audience have the power. They are the ones buying the tickets to all these man-made movies. There are films being made by female directors, by female writers, with lead female roles, but women are not going to those movies. We’re going with our boyfriends to hold their f***ing hands to go see a movie that we couldn’t care less about!”
We appreciate her brutally honest responses to inequality in Hollywood.
