Just Because I’m Married Doesn’t Mean I’m Not Sexy – Idris Elba

Idris Elba, who was named People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” has said that, his getting married has not affected his sex appeal in anyway!

The  Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw actor was asked in an interview whether he’s continuing to embrace the title, despite now being a happily married man.

“Listen, man. Just because I’m married doesn’t mean I ain’t sexy… It is the biggest ego booster to be called the sexiest man alive. And it says ‘sexiest man alive.’ That means I can own that title as long as I’m alive, right? Not for the year they give you.”

In fact, he says both he and his wife, Sabrina Dhowre, find it amusing as they see a side of him that his admirers rarely do.

“Actually, it was a massive compliment….Me and my wife, we laugh about it a lot ’cause sometimes I don’t look sexy, trust me.”

So, has anything changed for the actor since he was blessed with the title? According to him, not really, but it has boosted his ego a bit.

“No. I mean, it just makes me swag a little bit more…Just a little bit more. But no, I’m complimented by it. It was a magic moment.”
