Your Boyfriend Idris Elba Is the First Man to Cover Maxim

Idris Elba has the honor of being the first man ever on the cover of Maxim. The actor and his lustful stare are currently featured on the mag’s September issue.

Elba was an obvious choice, according to editor-in-chief Kate Lanphear, who says, “There was no one else in the world more badass than Idris. For me, he was really the perfect embodiment of what I think the new Maxim man is. He’s multi-dimensional, he’s complex, he’s sophisticated, but he’s down to earth.”

Nice coat. It looks like there’s room for two.
