Idris Elba's Daughter Isan Sounds Off on Her Dad's Coachella Set and Golden Globes

Isan Elba could not be more excited for her dad, Idris Elba, to perform at Coachella, but it's not for the reason you'd think. 

The 2019 Golden Globes Ambassador is pumped because chances are she'll be able to score a highly coveted pass to the show. "Hopefully now I get to go," the 17-year-old gushed to E! News. "I love the lineup."

She also clarified that her dad is not in fact "performing a play" like she said some people suggested.

One music group that she is particularly excited to see is Tame Impala, who is headlining alongside Ariana Grandeand Childish Gambino. She revealed, "I love Tame Impala. I know their lyrics, I know their songs—I love Tame Impala! They're headlining, I have to go."

Isan even jokingly weighed the band's importance in comparison to her dad, and the Australian group won. However, she said, "Don't tell [Idris] I said that!"

Jokes aside, Isan is very proud of her dad for achieving a dream he has long hoped to accomplish.
"He actually started out as a DJ so it's such a major accomplishment for him because Coachella is Coachella, so for him to be able to show his talent that isn't [acting], because he's known for acting but he has another talent and he's recognized for it by this huge festival, the biggest festival in the world," the 17-year-old shared.

Unfortunately, one of her favorite artists won't be performing at Coachella this year, but she will still get to see them at the awards show. It turns out Isan is quite the fan of Lady Gaga, so her role as Golden Globes Ambassador is a dream come true. She said, "I mean, it's a cliche answer but I've been the Gaga fan. I'm the Gaga fan! I've been since I was a little girl and so 12-year-old me will literally die if I got to meet her."
