You know him famously as Heimdall inĀ Marvel's Thor franchise with hazel eyes. You also know him as the shooter inĀ Stephen King's The Dark Tower which also starred Matthew McConaughey. But you know him the best as the voice of Sher Khan in Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book that released in 2016. Anyway, the phenomenalĀ British actorĀ turns 46 today and he has aged quite wellĀ if you ask us.

ButĀ while he has acquired the 'good actor' status and brilliant entertainer stature, there's a lot more to him that many aren't aware of... yet. Here's us celebrating Idris Elba for all the best things that he is!

He's a dishy magazine over star -

You know it too. The British actor is quite a hunk on a magazine cover as he is in person. These covers are proof of the same!Ā Over the years, Idris has posed for several magazine covers andĀ boy he only turns as fine as an old wine. You can actually look at all the covers below and get an idea of why we're drooling all over the actor's Instagram.

Idris Elba, with his rock hard pecks, baritone voice that would make you go weak in the knee and his winning acting chops, is also a DJ~ We doubt you knew this about the man you watches the Bifrost in Thor movies. He has performed in quite a long of clubs and concerts and damn, that's simply too cool to take!
