It’s not every day an actor is invited to a screening of his own film at the White House. Reports confirm that the world’s second most powerful man watched the pictures at the private White House theater at 6:00 pm local time as well as Elba, co-star Naomi Harris and two of Mandela’s daughters, Zindzi and Zenani also attended.

The star certainly seemed like he was in high spirits as he mingled and chatted with excited well wishers while making his through the gates to the historic residence. The dapper star made sure he wore a smart ensemble for his grand visit to Obama’s home.
