Mandela star lost contact with a gravel road behind the wheel in Finland while filming a racing documentary for BBC2.
He escaped injury but the moment the wheels flew off the roadway is emblazoned in his mind. “I never want to do that again. It’s the first time that I have ever rolled a car,” he told UK newspaper The Sun.
Idris remembers the event in shocking detail. It wasn’t until he went over an embankment that he realized how dire the situation was and he still can’t believe it happened.
“I wasn’t going fast, the car just had a mind of its own when it hit the bank,” he recalled. “I cut the corner and then we rolled. Suddenly it all came together.”
The documentary moved forward with production.
