Idris Elba crowned People's sexiest man alive for 2018

Congratulations to Idris Elba who has been crowned as 2018’s sexiest man alive by People Magazine. In an interview with the magazine, Idris shared that being voted as the sexiest man was a shock. “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?’ 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.” The star took to social media to express his gratitude for the title.
