You need to feed your mind and open it to bigger things than loving a guy playing a drug dealer, this guy has played a preacher (in The Gospel), a Gatekeeper (Thor), a father fighting for his kids (Daddys' little girls) a scientist assistant (the Unknown), a cop (Luther) but you want to reduce him to his role as a drug dealer!

[Nutella0713]

Whoever said that they can't imagine him as anything other than Stringer needs to mature; the wire was a way to get a foothold in Hollywood for him he has way bigger ambition than the wire. You need to get out of that ghetto mentality, playing a gangster for a black man (even a british) isn't that much of challenge, this guy wants to challenge himself and become a Hollywood heavyweight not just be known as an acclaimed drug dealer!



[CaptainPommby]

I want him to read me bedtime stories!

Badass voice!

[Joelberg11]

Stringer fine, we all know that.

[ProfitMuhammed]

posh bastard

[lesterwink23]

Great actor, but he'll always be Stringer Bell to me

[sam8110]

I'm British myself. Idris isn't sexy because he's British, he is just smooth and has one hell of a voice on him. Bit like Tom Hardy, he has one the sexiest voices i've ever heard. Tom and Idris just are sexy and it's probably because they don't try to be.

[tigereyes5]

Haha, so funny to hear people gushing over black men with British accents! Unfortunately they don't all sound as smooth as Idris Elba anf they're not all as sexy as him (though there are many that come near enough!)

[wedisegen]

God! i'm addicted with this show. LUTHER is an amazing show.

[all6witnessess]

SO ATTRACTIVE

[dorapierres]

MY THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL MAN!!! SMH!!!

[busymike]

THIS DUDE IS BRITISH?????????????????? I saw him on a movie with Gabriel Union the other day and he had a perfect American accent....I had no idea...

[esh]

@busymike I've seen him in a few movies and I would have never thought he still had his British accent lol

[Carfer22]

@busymike It was the same deal when he was in The Wire.

[Jelloxox]

A god among men. Britain always has the finest actors. Maybe I'm just talking off the cuff but all my favorite actors and actresses usually are from Europe.

[anniecsawyer]

oh god he's so handsome. I find him so attractive on the Wire but ugh on Luther he's just out of this world

[nanaama19]

omg!...the accent alone is a plus for me :D

[Jasy101]

1:35 buttcrack? lol still sexc tho lol

[crazy4corbinbleux]

HIS ACCENT IS SO FRICKINN HOT!!

[crazy4corbinbleux]

He looks like my uncle.. no joke..

[BSOG3]

Sexy, violent, black men....God's gift to humanity! LOL

[Larouge07]

This guy is cute and funny.. great.

[Shakou78910]

[adriantheloser]

LUTHER!!!!!

[mbmhs]

LOOK OUT, OMAR'S COMING!

[shatwood]

YO IDRIS, WHERE'S WALLACE?!

[tomabwhite]

Bloody hell Americans (judging by comments here) are OBSESSED with race. Britain has LOADS of black people. Nigel Benn, Lennox Lewis (sort of), this guy, loads of footballers (soccer) etc.

[mrstucko]

@tomabwhite woah woah now, lennox lewis is a british born canadian, let us have this one boxer LOL

[DDWYLR]

Get over it with the rioting and looting stuff - Idris is an ACTOR. Kimmel's AMERICAN producers prepared and framed all interview questions. The producers gave Americans the stories most likely to appeal to our "sensibilities". Our reputations abroad preceed and define us. Too bad we look (and behave at times) like such bloodthirsty asses. Oh yeah, about what race someone is; a Brit accent sounds good on anyone, even tho' I'm Irish-American with a few bad memories. passed down...

[jayvfreshprince]

Heimdall from THOR??

[ahlungjai]

never knew he had an accent...stringer bell!!

[googly1992]

Whats cool about this dickhead? What he is describing is gangs and promoting gang culture, its douchebags like him that were responsible for the riots.

[ShesNaijamazing]

@googly1992 moody are we?

[googly1992]

@ShesNaijamazing

Rhetorical are we?

[ShesNaijamazing]

@googly1992 not sure. Are we?

[atlscribe]

@googly1992 Yes, douchebags like him who are anecdotally reliving their childhood experiences are responsible for riots the world over.

[googly1992]

@atlscribe Thats what the pricks who rioted in London will say in 15-20 years time. A glorious summer, filled with sweet childhood memories of looting and rioting all anecdotally relived.

[slckr80s]

@mzweezy95 u e telling the wrong person kid. I'not the one using out of date expressions to talk about race. Most comments here are talking about race, so why ponder mine? Btw, I'm not the only one who says it is the 21st century, I think most people would agree with that.

[wowz98]

string, string! where da fuk is wallace?

[KolYma89]

mother fucking stringer is a goofball lol

[slckr80s]

@xxviciousbeautyxx seeing as it's the 21st century now we don't say 'coloured' person anymore, we say 'black' now.

[mzweezy95]

@slckr80s seeing as its the 21st century so you say.. we should look pass color or races whatever you wanna call it.

[xoxojollyy]

[superlaurita4900]

[Pena1003]

@ThorFan4Life theres Tinie Tempah :D

[xxviciousbeautyxx]

@ThorFan4Life Sure it's cool, anyone with a british accents are cool. It's not that uncommon for a colored person to have a british accent.
