Idris is the son of Eve (White) and Winston Elba. His parents are both African. His father is from Bonthe District, in Sierra Leone; in 2019, Idris was given Sierra Leonean citizenship. His mother is from Ghana. His father is said to have Krio ancestry. His mother likely has Akan roots.
Idris is married to Sabrina Dhowre. He has two children.
Idris’s paternal grandfather was named Moses. Moses was a sailor and policeman.
Idris was selected People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2018. He is the third non-white man, and the third man of significant African ancestry, to have been given this title by the magazine (Denzel Washington, in 1996, is the first, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, in 2016, John Legend, in 2018, and Michael B. Jordan, in 2020, are the others, fitting both criteria). Idris is also one of three English-born men to have thus far been given the title (Jude Law, in 2004, is the first, and David Beckham, in 2015, is the second).
he s look 60% black and 40% european or middle eastern to mee ,he s not looking 100% black
WTF, how does he look 40% european? Are you high?
Lol this person has no idea what 40 percent European looks like… this dude looks pure African.
I guess she assumes 100% black is the color of black like his jacket people are so weird. Most black people are actually milk chocolate brown in color to peanut butter or cafe au lait mocha
WEll seeing all the NASTY things whites and others have said about black people(just on this site alone). What she said wasn’t bad at all
Figured he was pure African, no mix. I have no idea why some people think he is sexy tho…
I hope you know that Sierra Leone is in Africa !
No shit!
The same reason they found sean connery in 1989 to be the sexist. man alive, even thou he was 59 yrs old at the time. People like what, what they like. I ‘m probably the only guy here, that doesn’t. Think Angelina jolie is all that
She certainly has aged.
He ain’t shit (appearance wise and talent wise). Not hating, just being honest.
You don’t see his sexiness but someone else does. Deal with it
Sorry didn’t finish my sentence I meant to type he had. Pity you can’t edit on here after posting.
He’s very good looking and a great actor. I’ve watched him in Luther for quite a well. A very good actor. I’ve wondered what ancestry he he.
No I’m not laughing and don’t have a stutter. Anyway to get an edit button on here?
He’s so effin’ sexy, and when he talks in his british accent, it’s so nice.
