Idris Elba versus Chiwetel Ejiofor at LA BAFTA event: who would you rather?

FFN_KM_BAFTA_Awards_110913_51257462

I was super-excited yesterday morning because I realized that I was waking up to new Benedict Cumberbatch photos from his appearance at the LA BAFTA Britannia event. I covered the Cumberphotos here – so much Batch, such cheekbones. Now that I’ve had a chance to catch my breath an look at the other photos… well, there were other hot men there too. So this post is for them (although I did manage to sneak in one more Cumberphoto, just because HAHAHA you love me).

So I’m including photos of your man Idris Elba, who was there to pick up a humanitarian award for his years of work with The Prince’s Trust, the organization founded by Prince Charles to give loans, scholarships and grants to young people for their education or the beginning of their careers. Idris received a grant from The Prince’s Trust when he was a young man which allowed him to take acting classes, and he’s been an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust for many years (incidentally, Benedict Cumberbatch is ALSO an ambassador). Also: the UK papers are now confirming that Idris is expecting a child with his undercover girlfriend Naiyana Garth. Apparently, they are “so in love” and it’s still early in the pregnancy. Let’s hope that this kid is actually Elba’s.

I’m also including photos of George Clooney (he picked up the Kubrick Award), Dominic Cooper (I’m not into him but I know some of you are), Chiwetel Ejiofor (who is looking so dashing and hot in that suit, plus the glasses) and my forever dong Ralph Fiennes (I wish he would grow out his hair, damn it).

    I’m into Dominic Cooper but I don’t think he looks good here.

    And the answer to that question would be Elba. Until he started talking about himself in the third person, at which point I’d say “Eve needs to make an urgent phone call to Mr. Ejiofor right now”.

    • T.Fanty says:

      I’m done with Idris. It’s not that he knocked up another woman (even though he didn’t knock up the first one), but they’ve only been dating since March. The fact that it’s happened twice in a relatively short space of time suggest to me some element of “intimate carelessness” or simply a distaste for protection, which is a lady-boner killer as far as I’m concerned. He’s still as hot as anything, but I can’t get on board with someone who appears to be that indiscriminate. And, let’s hope he gets his son this time.

      • Eve says:

        I understand…and I agree with your points.

        But, but…he’s sooooooo hot in Prometheus! Can’t I just have a quicky with him*?

        *Wearing protection, of course (but so would it be with any of the others).

      • ag-UK says:

        +1 he is a good actor but I think he’s not that bright. Also from photos it’s not early in her pregnancy as she is showing looks like 5 months. I just do not understand these guys… especially well known guys. I have said it doesn’t apply to everyone but some a man can be a rocket science 10 degrees but he is never as smart as a clever and sort of coniving woman. Not saying that is he case with these 2 but just saying.

    • QQ says:

      Im the opposite Eve, Im Not into Cooper but i’d bang that seven ways til 2015 the way he looks here

      • Eve says:

        That’s ok, I’m not jealous — you can have him while he looks like that (I’ll have him any other way).

        😀

    • V4Real says:

      I love Ejiofor. He may not be the best looking guy but his charm and talent is enough for me. I would still hit Idris but I will just make sure to bring my own protection as well as duck tape in case he feels the urge to start talking in the third.

      • Janeite says:

        Ditto for me. I will never understand why anyone feels the need to talk about themselves in the 3rd person. You just open the door for ridicule.

      • V4Real says:

        I meant duct tape, I just love auto fill, not.

      • pamspam says:

        Agreed. My initial thought was “Well, Idris…obviously!” But Chiwetel has won me over. I’d hit that hard and often. 🙂

  2. T.fanty says:

    Cumby, then Cloomey (maybe AND Clooney) then Ejiofor. Idris is off my list, forever.

    • j.eyre says:

      Chiwetel first for me so that will be a good rotation for us. I am taking Fiennes next. Clooney definitely, always. I could swing Cooper if I get a good night’s sleep the night before.

      I won’t put Cumby on my list. I have seen what you do to him, that won’t do me any good so I will stick with what I have.

      Alas, Idris is not even close to consideration for me ever again either.

  3. Gine says:

    Chiwetel forever. Mmm.

  4. Jules says:

    Cumberbatch is just not attractive. I find the guy really creepy.

  5. lower-case deb says:

    Chiwetel for mornings, Elba for noons and Cumberbatch to read me bedtime stories!

  6. Abby says:

    Cumby will be my first choice forever but I think Chiwetel looks dashing here….like damn son.

    His kind words for Cumby at the awards were so touching….like ugh I wanted to kiss him right there lol.

    Elba doesn’t do anything for me…never has and probably never will….though I do like him as a person. His speech was really lovely and genuine.

    Clooney looks great as well.

  7. Tish says:

    Chewitel. Yes. Yes.

  8. Sarah says:

    George looks a bit rough. Or wasted.

  9. LadySlippers says:

    Oh so many cute boys. Hmmmm… Benedict and Chiwetel for sure; Dominic, George, and Ralph maybe… And Idris is also a maybe.

  10. Han says:

    Chiwetel. He looks great and he is waay smarter than Idris. Idris is sexy in movies but sounds dumb when he opens his mouth.

  11. i says:

    Why choose? They’re both so scrumptious. Seriously, Idris and chiwetel are extraordinarily handsome and talented. Regarding the earlier comment about idris and his disinterest in protection: ladies, just bring the condom, learn how to put it on creatively/seductively and ride- no need to care whether he wants to wear it or not. We’re in control when we’re in the driver’s seat.

  12. loveisthecoal says:

    Who would I rather? Can’t I have both?

    (Qualifying statement: if Idris starts talking about himself in the third person, I’m kicking him out.)

    • Thiajoka says:

      Kick him this way, then. I don’t care if he talks about himself in the third–love his accent anyway.

  13. tifzlan says:

    IDRIS no competition!!!!!

  14. Thiajoka says:

    Idris. Always. And forever.

  15. sara says:

    Thank you for the pic of my man Ralph. You all can have the other men, I’ll just keep my” Fiennes” guy!

  16. Jay says:

    Idris, no contest. That man is sex on legs.
