Earlier this month, Idris revealed he doesn’t read into criticism about himself because he believes it would make him ‘miserable’ to tackle everyone’s opinion of him.
The Luther actor admitted he is ‘sensitive’ to disapproval because he is just like everyone else, aside from the fact there is ‘more light shed’ on him due to his career choice.
Idris discussed how he answers criticisms of hypocrisy for speaking out on climate change while appearing on Liz Bonnin’s podcast What Planet Are We On? alongside his wife Sabrina Dhowre.
The film star insisted he wasn’t here to ‘preach’ to others about what needs to be done, however he believes there is power in numbers and spreading a positive message to those who will listen.

When quizzed on how he deals with the backlash from people who disagree with his comments, he said: ‘I tend to be a lot more sensitive to it so therefore I don’t read it. I try to stay away from it.
‘And the reason I’m sensitive to it is because I don’t feel different to anyone. I just happen to be in an industry that sheds a lot more light on me.
‘And then my value system my personal life gets brought up into that and I’m just an entertainer. And if I tackled everyone that criticised me, I just would have a miserable life’.
He continued: ‘And ultimately as long as I feel that I’m just leading with my best foot forward, I’m not here to preach, I’m not here to tell you what I think needs to be done.
‘But I think there is power with volume sometimes and we bring that. And if we can have one tweet that sends the right message and if 500 people get it and 10 of those people hate me for it but 450 go “I kind of dig that” or ‘you taught me something” or “I looked into that a bit more further”. Job done.’
