Name: Idris Elba Age: 39 Claim to Fame: He first caught our attention as the intelligent thug on HBO’s cult favorite, The Wire and since became a mainstream Hollywood heartthrob. Not content with just skating on his good looks, Elba has proven he takes his craft seriously by accepting challenging roles like those he played as a detective in BBC’s Luther—for which he’s won a Golden Globe award. Why He’s So Hot: Elba is quite possibly one of the sexiest men walking. His irresistible British accent, a set of abs women can’t stop staring at, and that nonchalant “I don’t even realize how fine I am” charm have become legendary. However, he’s a thinker too and recently diversified his resume by expanding to music (he’s a highly sought after DJ) and working behind the camera as a producer of the indie series Milk & Honey.
