The folks at People Magazine have just confirmed what the rest of us have known since forever: Idris Elba is the sexiest man alive, PERIOD.

People Magazine
The award-winning British actor/heartthrob received the title in this week's annual issue, succeeding country star and The Voice judge Blake Shelton (whose 2017 induction sparked a lot of ~thoughts~).

Ofc being the dapper gentleman that he is, Idris was all like "Who'd have thought it!" in his very sexy/woke/gracious acceptance tweet.

"What’s even more important is your vote in the midterm elections," he added. "Your vote can make a difference!"
Twitter user @Meganjlarson had the correct answer when she said "EVERYONE."
@idriselba @people Who'd have thought it: EVERYONE.
Everyone including @Cocoaellewoods who said, "About motherforking time! He was literally oozing sex appeal just by being alive. It’s a huge duh squared @people. You’re late to the party for real."

And @Mellie4Justice who said, "Tell me something I didn't already know..." AKA also duh squared.
Tell me something I didn’t already know ...@idriselba is the sexiest man alive 😉
So it's pretty much safe to say that everyone is, in fact, in agreement about Idris being the sexiest man alive.

@Jillybobww even suggested that People's sensible selection might possibly signal a brand new day, full of "sense and goodness."
