While sometimes it might seem like Idris Elba spends all of his free time just dreaming up ways to make the rest of the world salivate over him, the actor's real allure lies in how effortlessly hot he is. He might not be doing shirtless pull-ups on a beach (not that we'd complain if he did) or posting gym selfies to Instagram (again, FEEL FREE TO DO SO, IDRIS), and his movie and TV characters are usually covered in some variation of heavy tweed, but still — Idris remains one of Hollywood's sexiest dudes, by far. Keep reading to see all of the drool-worthy reasons you're at risk of falling in love with him, if you haven't done so already.
