David Oyelowo has spoken of his respect and "deep love" for Oprah Winfrey says she has a huge influence in his life.
The British actor appears alongside the US star in Martin Luther King Jr. biopic Selma, which focuses on the late civil rights leader and his followers as they march from the title town to Montgomery to support the passing of a new law.
Both parties have spoken fondly of the project and each other, with David finding it almost impossible to contain his admiration for Oprah.
