Idris Elba stayed tight-lipped about rumours that he’s dating Jourdan Dunn as he arrived at the London premiere of 100 Streets.

The British actor and DJ, who was linked to the supermodel just two days previously at the MTV EMAs, arrived with co-star Gemma Arterton at the BFI Southbank on Tuesday night.

While the star was quick to shoot down speculation that he was dating Madonna last month, he decided not to discuss the latest rumours as he walked the red carpet.

The pair chatted to fans and took time to pose for selfies as they promoted the Jim O’Hanlon-directed new film, before heading inside out of the cold.

The 44-year-old, who plays the lead role in gritty, London-based drama, was reportedly spotted leaving the MTV afterparty ‘hand-in-hand’ with Dunn on Sunday night.

The reports come just two weeks after Elba was forced to deny he was in a relationship with the Queen of Pop after she filmed him winning his first kickboxing fight in London.

Madonna later shared a Snapchat picture of the pair fooling around on the floor together.

Quashing the claims on Twitter he wrote: “Am I sleeping with Madonna? No m************… 'Don't believe the Hype’.”

Elba and Arterton play an estranged couple in the new film, which intertwines three separate events taking place in the capital.

Charlie Creed-Miles, Kierston Wareing and Ken Stott co-star in the drama, which is set for release in the UK on November 11 and the US early next year.
