Falling in love is special: Idris Elba

Los Angeles: Actor Idris Elba says falling in love with his girlfriend Sabrina Dhowre was special.

The 45-year-old actor, who started dating the former Miss Vancouver winner whilst filming his upcoming romance movie “The Mountain Between Us” in Canada, says meeting his love during the making of the romantic film was like a dream come true, reported People magazine.

“Falling in love while making a movie about falling in love is pretty special,” Elba says.

The duo made their red carpet debut as a couple at Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, and the actor says it was nice to be able to go public with their romance.

“It definitely got noticed because I try to keep my personal life different. I think it’s an interesting space, especially for her. She’d never done a red carpet before and I tend not to do that. It was nice actually.
