Man Crush Monday!!!: Idris Elba

In preparation for the release of the bio-pic of the century Mandela:  Long Walk to Freedom due in theaters Christmas Day, this week’s Man Crush goes to the long time sexiness of Idris Elba.

 

I may be a little out of my age bracket with this one...but credit must be given when credit is due.

 

About every 5 movies that have been released in the past 10 years have featured a performance by the amazingly talented Idrissa Akuna Elba. The sexy Elba is of African descent (Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean) , but gets his sexy on-again, off-again accent from Hackney, London, England. Idris first caught women’s eye for his role in the HBO series, The Wire.  Yet another diamond in the rough in Hollywood, Elba manages to capture audiences whenever he is on screen. He made us hate him in American Gangster (2007) opposite Denzel Washington, had us on the edge of our seats in Takers (2010), and made us all cry in Tyler Perry’s: Daddy’s Little Girls (2007). His most memorable role will be his most recent film, portraying the South African president and anti- apartheid leader, Nelson Mandela in the long awaited Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. His performance will carry a little more weight than before since the recent passing of the heroic politician. Given Elba’s track record for capturing audiences, he should definitely do the icon, Mandela some justice.

 

YAS!
 

 



This is how I now I'm out of my age range with this one because I still had parental controls on my tv when HBO'S  The Wire had the most hype.

 

Idris has already been nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture in the Golden Globes. The movie itself is nominated for 3 awards.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is due in American theaters on Dec.25. It is also anticipated to be the longest movie ever made since the VH1 Michael Jackson movie. (That is not an official fact, just Tay's expectation)

Sorry ladies this MCM is married, with a baby on the way...And she's cute. Triple blow to the heart, I know  -_-
