VIDEO: Idris Elba Teaches Stephen Colbert Some CATS Moves

Idris Elba was a guest on Monday night's episode of THE LATE SHOW WITH Stephen Colbert and during the interview, Elba spoke about his role in the highly-anticipated Cats film.

Elba starts by trying to explain the plot to Cats by saying, "There's this young cat and she gets taken on this story about how to get to Cat Heaven, or what you should do to get into Cat Heaven. How am I doing? Does anyone know what this story is?"

Elba told Colbert about how the actors had to attend cat school to train for the role. Elba said the teacher, "really spoke to us about the anatomy of a cat. We had to understand the bones, the structure, how the hips and every thing work." Colbert then asked if Elba could teach him some moves, so the two struted their stuff!
