Since everything is awful and the world is burning down, let’s just take a moment and look at nice photos of Idris Elba. Idris was in Berlin to promote and premiere his new film, Yardie, which he directed. He wore a simple cream-colored sweater to the photocall and press conference, and then he added a jacket for the premiere. His date was his fiancee Sabrina Dhowre, who now has terrible bangs.

Idris looks crazy hot here, right? But it’s not the kind of hotness where you’re immediately like “okay, throw me down on the bed and let’s do this.” He’s simmering, like a slow-burn. Perfect for a lowkey Hot Guy Friday.

Here’s the trailer for Yardie, below. “Yardie” is a slang term from a Caribbean expatriate, usually a Jamaican, and Wiki says that it’s also slang for a Jamaican gangster. Which is what this film seems to be about – a gangster in Kingston, Jamaica moves to London and chaos ensues, oh and it’s based on a book of the same name. This is Idris’s feature-length directorial debut. Good for him.
