 Idris Elba

This week, one of my girlfriends sent me an image that helped warm up a cold July morning. The image, which has since been widely circulated, was of British actor, Idris Elba on the cover of Essence magazine. Based on his impressive portfolio of work, there is no doubt that Idris Elba is a great actor. He also has other good attributes like his English accent, his good body and a nice sounding name (the kind of name that would sound even better coming after the Mrs initial).

However, the ultimate Pièce de résistance is the fact that he is a good-looking silver fox. At only 44 years of age, Idris is spotting the right amount of grey speckles of hair (on his head and moustache) to qualify to be one of the hottest silver foxes on the planet. For those who may not be in the know, a silver fox is a man who is greying well and who owns his grey.
