Idris Elba is the cover star of Esquire magazine’s for August 2017 issue and the 44-year-old British actor is all shades of hot!
Idris Elba in a Interactive chat with the magazine about several things including
his role in “The Wire”, his father’s death and more.
The rumor that Elba is in
line to play James Bond has endured for years. In 2014, in one of the
thousands of emails made public when Sony Pictures was hacked,
then-studio cochair Amy Pascal told a colleague, "Idris should be the
next Bond."
Steven Spielberg said in an interview that Elba would be his
"first choice" to fill Daniel Craig's tux. Elba has long maintained
that the conversation is moot; no one, so far as he knows, is seriously
considering him for the role.
Nevertheless, the rumor's persistence highlights a large part of what makes Elba such a rare talent.
Almost immediately, Elba is the one doing the interviewing. "I think my
life is pretty well documented," he tells me. "If you look me up, you're
gonna find some shit." He rests his hands on the table, fingertips
pressed together professorially; his eyes are locked on mine. "And that
must be—not disheartening but discouraging for a journalist." He pauses.
I wait. He continues: "Like, How the fuck do I approach this to get anything that no one else has read before?
What is that approach?" He takes a sip of Johnnie Walker Black and Diet
Coke and tilts his head to the side, never dropping his stare.
I ask a question before he heads off to review script changes for Yardie.
Since his midlife crisis, Elba has launched a successful clothing line
with Superdry; become an Officer of the Order of the British Empire; and
given a speech to Parliament about promoting diversity in British
television and film. Is there anything he thinks he can't do?
"I'm not good at building furniture."
How does he know?
"I've tried it."
Of course he has.
