There are no new Idris Elba interviews. I have no idea what he’s working on these days or what he’s up to. All I know is that he posted this photo on Instagram yesterday and panties around the world exploded. I think Idris was fresh from a workout, then he went into the sauna, then he posed for this photo. CB theorized that Idris was probably naked when he went into the sauna, because nude-sauna-ing is quite common throughout Europe. So imagine that… sweaty, naked Idris Elba. Just let that simmer.
Bless him.
Apparently, Idris is going to box someone tomorrow, maybe? Idris picked up boxing when he was working on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, and he’s said that he’s kept up with it. His Instagram proves that – he’s been posting videos of his boxing training. HOT. I could listen to Idris making those sounds all f—king day (and night).

Idris! Watch out for the face! Remember Mickey Rourke as a cautionary tale. And Heimdall does not need a broken nose.

Don’t you need a pool man (boy just doesn’t seem to work here) or something? It would make the view from the deck even more lovely.
Why yes! Yes, we do! Groundskeeper Matthias is busy with the peach harvest and could use some help with the pool
Excellent. We might need extra towels for the drool. 🙂
Bless him indeed.
He is so freaking sexy. These photos are perfection.
Jesus! *sigh* …I ….
Why is it not only okay but lauded when a man does a sexy photoshoot or posts sexy photos to social media, but when a woman does a sexy photoshoot or posts sexy photos to social media people complain about it?
Good point.
Oh lord does every post have to have some political statement or stand?
Yes. In order to keep that balance and be fair.
No this really requires no stance it’s nitpicking if you are offended by Idris posting this video don’t look at it, but he isn’t naked or even scantily clad so just stop. It is honestly exhausting.
And when you pick at small not real things you diminsh the conversation of important issues.
“No this really requires no stance it’s nitpicking if you are offended by Idris posting this video don’t look at it”
But she’s not offended. She never said she was. You’re adding your own interpretation of what she said. The poster just stated that when women post sexy pics on IM some people complain about it but not so much when it’s someone like Idris. And if you think about it she’s sort of right.
“And when you pick at small not real things you diminsh the conversation of important issues.”
LOL… Idris is fine as hell but he’s not an important issue.
Do people complain? I think it’s more like people makes fun of and criticize when someone, man or woman, is being a try-hard. This isn’t that guy. He is just hot. He doesn’t have to try. I think that is the difference you are looking for.
Oh I think this is try hard. A guy can look like Adonis, but when he posts a shirtless picture of himself, all the hotness goes away.
Why? What’s so innately wrong with posting a shirtless pic? We should be able to post pictures of our bodies in any shape or size. What makes this “try-hard”?
People complain about men objectifying the woman who pose for or post sexy photos. Yet most people here are fine with objectifying men who pose for or post sexy photos.
I’m not offended by anything, it’s just something I noticed and decided to ask about.
I feel like this is a bit of a false equivalency. If beyonce posted her workout in whatever clothes we would all be scrambling to copy whatever she is doing. And then we would all proabably be like YASSSS QUEEEN. Punch that punching bag, Slay. Fierce.
Um, no. Have you been reading this site?
Beyoncé gets it bad around here.
Sexy doesn’t even begin to describe him.
I really needed this today.
THANK YOU.
This is exactly what I needed this morning. Idris out here doing the Lord’s work by looking fine as hell and blessing us with updates like these.
Thank you @Evie. Perfectly said! You made me laugh. Today has been torrid. Thank you for the much needed perspective and giggle!
Pass.
Campaigning for the 007 role. Oh, wait a minute.
Campaigning hard I might add Spidey!
I missed out the subtly! 😆
Uhhhh! *drops dead*
Lawd, have mercy.
Husband handed me coffee this am; opened up this gem and nearly melted. His voice. His stare. Jesus, this man does it for me. Day completed!
Sure, he is handsome and a tremendous actor. I’ve been enjoying him since the Wire. Isn’t she shady with women and paternity though?
Edit: never mind. I’m a dumbass.
He does have a very messy personal life. I’m just here for the picture. Amen.
The paternity was not shady on his part but the woman who lied and said he was the father.
I think Idris is best off with just the photos and no interviews, frankly. Then there is NOTHING to distract me from his being the world’s hottest man.
Seconded. What beautiful, sexy, sweaty goodness.
Honestly, the only time I want to hear him talk is when I watch Luther over and over again. Smart writers putting intelligent words in his mouth? Yes, please.
Damn that man is fine.
He is a beautiful man. But I actually prefer him in a suit… Like on “The Office”.
I’m glad I’m sitting down, I feel faint. That man is just…wow.
Don’t mind me…I’m sitting at my desk drinking coffee, and doing some very naughty Idris day dreaming
Fans self, swoons.
I actually know very little about his personal life, but since I don’t plan to date him, I can just admire the beauty and perfection that is Idris Elba. He is a gift and a glory to behold.
Wow!
rubs _________ vigorously
I know you didn’t ask for it but HONK! Please don’t ever skip the opportunity to post about Idris, especially with images and videos like these. God damn.
I’d hit that like a Jeopardy buzzer. Walk of Shame for $1000, Alex.
Damn this man is just everything!! I mean the body, the voice, the talent, the charm and wit it’s to much to handle. Love love love him.
God bless us everyone for this delicious post. Nom nom nom
Ooooooooohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyy.
Is he the best person ever?
YES YES YES YES YES
Nope, I pass.
Apparently, Idris has done/is doing a documentary television series about training to be a kick-boxer. So, there will be lots of footage of sweaty, boxing Idris in our future.
