The 41-year-old 'Luther' actor said when the paternity test confirmed his ex-partner had been lying to him regarding her son, it was the most "tragic" time of his life.
Speaking to GQ magazine, Elba explained: "It wasn't immediately obvious – well, it was, because he didn't look anything like me. But it wasn't immediately obvious what had gone down. The celebration of having a son – from a man's perspective, it's massive.
"To be given that and then have it taken away so harshly was like taking a full-on punch in the face. Pow!"
He revealed that he isn't embarrassed about what had happened, but said he would not make the same mistake again.
"You know, the truth is, like, even admitting it, I'll probably get laughed at for the rest of my life. But it is just tragic, and it happened.
"But I wasn't knocked out. I stood right the f**k back up, and I ain't aiming to take another punch in the face ever again … It happened to me. I moved on."
He also added that the incident was 'karma' because of his past.
"I've not been an angel in my life, either - do you know what I'm saying? To a certain extent, what goes around comes around. But for me in the future, I'm about being comfortable. That's it.
"I was running with cats. I mean, I was DJing, but I was also pushing bags of weed; I was doing my work. I had to. I know that sounds corny, but this is the truth," he revealed in the interview.
