09. 22) but is simply planning a "chilled dinner" with family and friends to mark the big day. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, Idris said: "I am opting for a chilled dinner with family and friends.

Is that boring? "I feel good. I am excited to turn 50. But I cannot even say the word 50. It is like 'What? I am old!'. That is me - on my way.

I feel 50. I wake up in the morning and I am aching and s***. "The last few years I have realised how precious life is - so I just want to live.
