Idris Elba Covers UpScale Mag


The half Ghanaian  cute looking badboy who is doing it great with his career in Hollywood,  covered Upscale Magazine this week and inside he discusses the misconception people have about black men and how others see him.

On Being A Sex Symbol
“Black men have never been sexy. We’re ‘sportsmen.’ We’re ‘intimidating.’ We’re not ‘good fathers.’  So we need that. I think we should celebrate that. But am I a sex symbol? I don’t know. Not everybody likes one thing.”.

On Who He’s Dating
“I’m sure people are curious, but do they really care? No. Jesus Christ, does it make a difference in their lives? No, not at all. …I don’t hide my girlfriend in a box or anything like that. I keep a very real existence in my real life. I go shopping for food myself. I have kids. I love my children and I love my kids. But they are not part of that world…”
