Ladies, ladies, ladies.
Boy, do we have a treat for you this morning. As he prepares for a new role in upcoming film Bastille Day, hunky actor Idris Elba recently blessed his Instagram fans with a steamy video clip from one of his intensive training sessions at the gym.
There are, like, a gazillion reasons this clip will make your Thursday. Let us count the ways: 1. Elba is shirtless. 2. He’s sweating profusely. 3. He’s rolling his body, and the person holding the camera shot it from a great angle. (Wink!) 4. You can hear his British accent too. What else could a girl want? Enjoy, ladies. (And, thank you, Idris!)
