Idris Elba has been named the sexiest man alive by American celebrity magazine People.

The British actor and star of The Wire, Luther and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom was revealed as this year’s winner on Monday’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

London-born Elba, 46, is People’s 33rd sexiest man alive and joins previous winners including Mel Gibson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and David Beckham.

Last year American country singer Blake Shelton took the title. This is only the third time a man of colour has won the award, following Johnson in 2016 and Denzel Washington 10 years before.

Elba told People how he reacted to the news. He said: “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?’ Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out.

“I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today’. But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise – an ego boost for sure.”

On Twitter, Elba said he was “honoured” by the accolade before urging fans to vote in Tuesday’s midterm elections in the US.

He said: “Who’d have thought it! Thank you people & all the fans for naming me #SexiestManAlive.

“I’m honoured & thankful. What’s even more important is your vote in the midterm elections. Your vote can make a difference!”

Elba, who was among the favourites to take over from Daniel Craig as James Bond before ruling himself out earlier this year, said he endured an awkward stage while growing up.

Elba, now 6ft 3ins, said: “I was very tall and skinny. And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, OK? I got picked on a little bit.

“But again, as soon as I could grow a moustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a moustache, had some muscles, bonkers.”

Elba has two children – a 16-year-old daughter, Isan, and a four-year-old son, Winston.

He proposed to his model girlfriend, Sabrina Dhowre, 29, in February.

Yes only in USA



USA needs to be in the title

So

Idris Elnba sexiest man alive according to 4 random women and one gay guy in America


:skull:

No lies detected

green eyed monster

:fist:

Im no monster

Idk bc I really like him and he's obvs fit af but idk he's just not the sexiest

Oop, LT is clearly pressed :hehe:

maybe if the category was trumpets, who knows, LT :shrug:

Elba's not my type tho

No but it's an improvement on Blake Shelton :unsure:

He isnt as sexy as say a sexy woman is (like say little Dianne from Srictly). That is the problem with men, women are prettier and i cant see that changing anytime soon?

YES. https://media1.tenor.com/images/3292...itemid=5596641

men for me, obvs

Elba or Clooney, imo, are handsome but not necessarily sexy
suppose it's very subjective

They tend to go for very safe, approaching 40-years-old mega-celebrities so this is understandable. And a far better option than bloody:

I bet it must've been on the wire for the Magazine on who to pick between Idris Elba and Michael C Hall.:cool:

I don't see it.

Katya is the sexiest dancer on Strictly at the moment imo.

Although I have a bizarre thing for Darcy Bussell.:joker:

definitely one of the sexiest

whew :drool:

Ugh DADDY

I don't see it

Right said Fred, im too sexy for my shirt.

Should be played at every opportunity.

This isn't Dean Winchester?

agree, Daddy Idris :love:

This makes me feel like we need to do a new Tibb Sexiest celebrity thread!

Definitely my type. He is gorgeous :love:

Oh YES

Hang on for a massive name drop...

I met Idris Elba a couple of years ago when he did a 'diversity in media' thing at the House of Commons. I am able to confirm that no one will ever fancy him as much as he fancies himself.

:joker:

I can live with that

such a catch

:umm2:

LT really doesn't want him to be sexy

What has been your biggest achievement?

My career – because every job I ever got I had to fight for. I’m an odd, tall, black man that doesn’t quite fit in. And here I am 25 years later in what I consider to be a very well-rounded career. :umm2:

... and your biggest disappointment?

My personal life. I sacrificed it to be where I am as an actor. So my relationships have suffered.
