Idris Elba has revealed he’s been going to therapy for the last year after forming some “unhealthy habits”.The actor made an appearance on the Changes with Annie Macmanus podcast where he admitted that he’s “an absolute workaholic” and wants to “adjust”.“It’s not because I don’t like myself or anything like that,” Elba said. “It’s just that I have some unhealthy habits that have really formed.
