Ever the professional, Kate declared she would take control of filming and dictated where cameras would be during takes. It was during this time that she Idris’ raunchy sex confession slip.
She explained: “Idris said, ‘Keep your socks on!’ and I’m like, ‘Keep my socks on? Everything else is off – what’s with the socks?’. And he said, ‘No. I’ve got a foot thing'”.
Elba explained that he did not want her socks to come off and to see what Kate described as her “hobbit feet”. Kate interjected and said that she had what were dubbed “cliff-hangers”, as they clung onto the heels she was wearing.

Kate continued: “I have got very, very big feet – and they’re not particularly beautiful feet either”. She then insisted she would keep her feet inside her shoes for Idris’ sake.
“Anyway, so I’m thinking, ‘Well, poor Idris doesn’t want to see my feet ’cause maybe he just does not like feet in general and that’s the whole thing. It’s the opposite, ladies and gentlemen – Idris loves feet,” she said.
The Hijack star looked visibly embarrassed at Kate’s confession, as he scrambled to save face. Fellow guest Chris Rock quickly joined in on the fun, stating: “I can’t wait to see this movie”.
