In news we all knew already, Idris Elba is the sexiest man alive. The only difference is that now itโs official, with PEOPLE magazine giving him the title for their 33rd annual Sexiest Man Alive contest (for the uninitiated, yes, this is a thing).
Elba, who as People points out can add this latest accolade to a list that includes Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to drama, said winning was an โego boost for sure.โ
But itโs the good people of Twitter who really canโt contain their excitement:
