An open casting for a new film directed by Idris Elba had to be cancelled after too many people turned up.
An advert for “paid extras” had asked people to arrive at a community centre in north London to find out more about the project.
Pictures posted on social media show huge crowds trying to get in.
The Luther star then put out his own video saying he’d been asked to “shut it down” because of the number of people there.
