Since Idris Elba blessed us all by teaming up with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for their hit, "Dance Off," fans have been challenging him to show off his moves.

After the Star Trek Beyond actor straight up admitted to Jimmy Fallon, "I can dance," he really had no choice but to stand up and bust some impressive moves.

Elba also discussed his DJ career -- which began when he was eight years old -- and shared one of his more embarrassing moments in life, involving Nile Rodgers.
