2018 Sexiest Man Alive
Idris Elba’s reaction about winning the place of the sexiest man in 2018 was quite sincere. He didn’t expect to win, however, stated that it’s really nice feeling.
“I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?’” Idris Elba tells PEOPLE. “Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.”

He adores his children, “Being witness to the birth of my children is the biggest and best thing ever,” says Elba, who is the father of a daughter and son.
“I’m super doting, big hugs, kisses, lots of love-yous. I’m sure my daughter’s like, ‘All right Dad, chill out.’ My son is still at that age where he loves a cuddle.”
