Twitter Couldn't Be More Thrilled With Idris Elba Being Crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive

Idris Elba was crowned as People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2018, and just based on the reactions on Twitter, people are more than pleased with the pick. In fact, there were so many tweets about Idris Elba's People's Sexiest Man Alive honor that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wasn't into People's choice.

The exciting news as announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, in which the official cover was debuted. Host Jimmy Fallon also saw fit to put Elba's sexiness to the test, as he asked him to do his best smolder and sweet looks (which he aced, of course). Naturally, the actor also discussed the honor in the latest issue of People, where he spoke about what it felt like to receive the special title. He said,

"I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?' Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.”

But what does everyone else have to say about the reigning Sexiest Man Alive? Well, as always, Twitter had some thoughts.

All In Agreement

As one Twitter user said, everyone is pretty much in agreement that Elba was the best choice for People's Sexiest Man Alive. So, at least everyone can agree on one thing.

Another person posted a certain GIF from Elba's time on The Office (in which he played Charles Miner) to joke about what the actor's possible reaction to this latest honor. His character can be seen saying, "I am aware of the effect I have on women." Yep, A+ GIF usage here.
