Elba stars alongside John Cena in Heads of State, which will be released on Wednesday, July 2Amy Poehler and Idris Elba had to laugh about their accidental twinning moment during the latest episode of Poehler's Good Hang podcast.
When The Wire alum entered the podcast studio in a white t-shirt and periwinkle blue jacket, Poehler, 53, erupted into laughter because she was wearing the same thing.
"We're twinning!" the Parks and Recreation alum said, to which Elba joked, "Wow. Cue a slow, slow motion music..."
"You know, there is a part of me that always tries to think about what the guest would wear and I do try a little bit unconsciously to just dress for my guests," Poehler joked during the Tuesday, July 1, episode.
"Oh, no way you're joking. You did it! Look at us, we did it. I could take this off and do the t-shirt," Elba offered.
Poehler made it clear that she did not mind their surprising twinning moment. "No, I feel like we got to... We have to stay in it now," she said.
The pair went on to discuss their shared astrological signs. They're both Virgos who were born in the 1970s. Towards the end of the episode, Elba referenced the time-honored English football tradition of players trading jerseys.
"We're wearing what? How would you describe this color?" Poehler asked.
"Petrol blue," Elba replied. "I was thinking, do you watch football or soccer? Right at the end of a really great game, there's a tradition where the greatest players against each other trade..."
"Okay let's trade shirts. We're going to trade," Poehler said, laughing. "Let's do it, buddy," Elba said.
"This is exciting, and I have a feeling this is not going to fit. Let's see how far you can get into my jacket," Poehler said as the studio erupted in giggles.
"Technically you don't have to wear it because usually it's full of sweat," Elba said, to which Poehler replied, looking into the camera, "By the way, the shirt smells great. Listeners, if you wanted to know, the shirt smells great. Oh wow, okay, hold on a minute. Oh, I like this look."

"I was just trying to get one sleeve..." Elba said, trying on one sleeve of Poehler's jacket.
"One sleeve, just one is good," Poehler said, laughing. "Tiny jacket. But tiny jackets are funny! Tiny jackets are so funny. Look, we did it! We traded! This is good comedy."
While Elba appeared in the studio, John Cena appeared via video call. The two star in Heads of State, which will be released on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, July 2. In the action comedy film, Cena, 48, plays a U.S. president at odds with a British prime minister (Elba).
