Oh every day is just made a little better with this MAN. And he is all man, right? Even togged up in his YMCA-esque striped top and biker jacket, actor Idris Elba exudes masculinity. And I find that fascinating. Put a Breton stripe top on a different guy and he will look all fey and rent-boy. The exact same garment on this chap, and you start drooling. Although that may just be me.

You will of course know that Idris is a friend of SA, having been here recently to shoot his new movie with our dear heart Terry Pheto. He decided to feature her in his directorial debut too, when she played a robot in a music video he shot whilst here. Just stunning. Sigh. As you were. Carry on.
