What is better than one Idris Elba? Two of them. Even if one of them is made of wax!
Believe it or not, the DJ who moonlights as a sexy actor did not have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds. But the museum in London rectified their wrong and molded a life-size candle in his image. It even has his charming smile, but that is not all they have in common.
The London native said: “It’s truly an honour to be recognised in this way and even more special to know this other version of me will be standing tall in London. So, even when I’m away, a part of me is always at home. The process has been fascinating. It’s not dissimilar to prepping for a movie role – working with talented artists to flesh out the character, getting the costume just right, but this time it’s for me! It’s really surreal to see another version of me standing in Madame Tussauds London, it feels like a full circle moment.”
The other version of him is standing in his personal Christian Louboutin dress shoes, and is wearing an Eve of Winston suit that he designed.
The sculptors did such a spot-on likeness that the people of London will think he is always there with them, even if he is on the other side of the pond doing what he does best.
Ladies, the wax figure is on display now, so you can pose with him and pretend you are with the real thing. It is not as good, but it is pretty close.
Talking about posing, to see him pose with the six James Bond statues, then click here.
Idris Elba was in Madame Tussauds London, and he walked by their collection of James Bonds: George Lazenby, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig.
When his wife, Sabrina Dhowre, saw that, she came up with a brilliant idea. She asked her husband to pose next to them!
And now I am more convinced than ever that he should be standing alongside those 007s.
But did you know he is also one of the cutest? The actor shared an instructional video of him putting his index fingers over his eyebrows and the tips of his thumbs on his nostrils. Then he moved them forward to tell us they mean, “I miss you!”
And now I am missing him because I just want to hug him for that.
Before Idris Elba was a detective on Luther, he delivered pizza in space in Space Precinct. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in that 1994 episode.
There is just something about Idris Elba that leaves women weak in their knees. And we got to see that happen on live television today.
Kelly is a huge fan of the actor, so she woke her husband up very early to go see Luther live in person on Today. She wanted to make sure she got a good place, so they got there at 4a. And that didn’t go unnoticed by the producers of the NBC news program.
So they brought the couple inside so that she could have the best seat in the house. Not only that, they called her out on the show.
She was so enamored by the actor that she was left starstruck. She was shaking, crying, and in awe. And he was so sweet to her and her husband. So, that makes me love him even more.
BTW If I were Savannah, I would’ve asked Kelly who is her Hall Pass. Could you imagine if she said anyone other than Elba?
