Idris Elba Thought He Actually Got Shot By Denzel Washington While Filming "American Gangster"

"What happened was I said to Idris, 'Listen, when he puts the gun to your head, lean on the gun.' Because, by the way, this is a gun with a solid barrel; there is no aperture. I would never risk it. But when you pull the trigger there's a recoil. There's no blank, nothing. So I said, 'I want you to lean on the gun,'" Ridley explained.
