Idris Elba's Sexiness Charted In Latest GQ Magazine

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Idris Elba’s sexiness is on another level and British GQ Magazine is doing the honors of making the “Luther” actor more visible in the June issue as the ‘recommends feature’. The extraordinarily handsome man is promoting his new sci-fi flick “Prometheus” in the spread where dapper and exuberant takes on new meanings.

Meanwhile “The Wire” actor is set to feature in a black western short film “They Die By Dawn” along with some other heavy hitters including actress Rosario Dawson, actor Michael K. Williams (“The Wire”), singer Erykah Badu, and Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”), according to Indiewire.com.

Jeymes Samuel, the frontman for U.K. hip-hop collective The Bullits, unfamiliar in US circles, but trying his hand at film making is the brains behind the western.

“I’m shooting a Western ‘They Die By Dawn’ at the Melody Ranch Studios in L.A. where they shot ‘Deadwood,'” Samuel said. “It’s set in 1890 with every single black actor in Hollywood swagged out cowboy style – Langston, Oklahoma. I am super, super excited.”

No date yet when to expect Idris in the western film, but the hot hunk’s next film, “Prometheus” hit theaters June 8.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
