Idris Elba has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive — and not gonna lie, we’re totally on boat with this. 

“I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?” the British actor told People when he found. “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.”

Idris has become one of Hollywood’s hottest stars. He’s portrayed Nelson Mandela in the 2013 biographical film Mandela Long Walk to Freedom and has played a Norse God in Marvel’s Thor franchise. Rumors speculated that he would play James Bond, though he put them to rest. 

“I was very tall and skinny,” he continued. “And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But again, as soon as I could grow a mustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a mustache, had some muscles, bonkers.”

And what great muscles they are!
