‘Most stressful’
According to reports, Idris and the Sussexes are good friends. Hence the wedding was not just an ordinary event for him; rather he had a lot of pressure to make it special. He previously opened up about the event on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and confessed:
They’re good friends and I wanted to make sure they had a good time, so there was a lot of pressure.
Explaining how it was the ‘most stressful’ gig he had done, he added:
This wasn’t like my cousin’s wedding. This was like, you know, this wasn’t at the community hall, the reception. This was a big deal.
