Actor Idris Elba says watching his father Winston die of lung cancer was heartbreaking. In an interview to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Luther" actor opened about his father's illness and why did he get a tattoo of "one life" on his forearm, reported mirror.co.uk.

He said: "That's it. That's all we've got. I watched my dad die, and he and I had big plans.I never got to show him the fruits of my labour. We talked about things he could have if I made it, then he got sick. "It was heartbreaking, but it also grounded the f*** out of me."
