We don't want to waste your time here: what you're about to read is a totally gratuitous insight (illustrated with pictures) as to why Idris Elba is a bonafide MAN GOD. Like, really something. If you're looking for more than that, turn back now. If you're not, then strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Idris Elba has qualities that you're hard pressed to find in most men; firstly, he's brilliant at his job (and has the awards to prove it), he has a voice so deep and reassuring you could simply melt, and a demeanor so calm and confident that you'd tell him your pin number in an instant. He also rocks a flat cap better than is feasibly possible for any man to do (see later).

Please see here 10 pictures of Idris looking totally fit...

Yes, we like smiling Idris just as much as intense and brooding Idris. P.s what hat style can't this man make look good?!

Still turned on.

Here's Idris back in 2012 picking up his Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Mini-Series or TV Movie. He hasn't quite nailed the stare at this point, but we can see potential.
