Previous owners of this title from the last few years include Blake Shelton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, David Beckham, Chris Hemsworth, and Adam Levine. And while all these men ARE sexy, dreamy, beautiful, wonderful, etc…. Idris Elba holding this title has been a long time coming.
To celebrate, we thought we’d throw together some of Elba’s best moments from the last year to show how TRULY deserving he is of this title.
JANUARY: That FACE. Enough said.
FEBRUARY: When he posted this ADORABLE boomerang highlighting his inability to wink
MARCH: A relatable icon, truly.
APRIL: When he shared this video that just instantly made him 100 times more attractive, if that’s even possible.
MAY: Met Gala after-party vibes. Need I say more? COME. ON. LOOK AT HIM!
JUNE: When he celebrated Father’s Day with the fam and we all swooned.
JULY: When he was cheesin' hard because it was Friday.
AUGUST: You can’t even see his whole face, yet you know he just looks GOOD.
SEPTEMBER: When he celebrated his birthday and just looked TOO GOOD to be 46.
OCTOBER: This badass pic from the new Fast and Furious. Just Wow.
NOVEMBER: When he looked SO good in this outfit. I’m convinced he’s the only one who could pull something like that off.
And finally, from earlier this week when he celebrated his “Sexiest Man Alive” title AND encouraged all of his followers to get out to the polls and vote. What a king!
