I mean, sure Idris Elba is starring in basically everything that is geeky and awesome, like the upcoming Star Trek Beyond, The Dark Tower, and Thor: Ragnarok, but this photo shoot he did with Interview Magazine is just pure, unadulterated eye candy that I am unashamedly linking to here for your enjoyment. You’re welcome. (via Buzzfeed)
