Male Gaze: The Irresistible Idris Elba

To kick off the weekend before Christmas, we present you with the gift of the gorgeous Idris Elba — for no reason at all, other than the fact that he looks perfect, beautiful, and all-around stunning in a suit. If his deep, soulful eyes are calling out to you, take some time this weekend to see the British actor as the late Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, or playing a horned, helmet-wearing Heimdall in Thor: The Dark World. As a bonus, enjoy watching him in this video as his alter ego, “DJ Big Driis.” That accent. That passion. Happy weekend!
