How To Nail The Perfect Selfie, According to Idris Elba
Selfies are a pretty taboo topic for men but if you're going to do it, do it right. Enter PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2018, Idris Elba, who is someone you definitely want to emulate. The 46-year-old has some handy pointers we can all follow.
"Any selfies you do make sure you go a nice bit of blue steel, you know what I mean? One eyebrow slightly upper than the other," he told Capital FM.
"Squint the eyes a little bit and a little bit of a smile - that aways gets them going.
"And confidence, like lots of confidence. You can always bring confidence back but you gotta just put it right up front you know what I mean?”
However, the Luther star didn't always have it easy. Elba reveals he struggled with his appearance when he was younger.
“I was very tall and skinny. And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But as soon as I could grow a moustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a moustache, had some muscles, bonkers," Elba continues.
“Life isn’t about thinking about what you should have done. I think everyone should adopt the philosophy that tomorrow is not promised so just go for it today, man. You might as well do it to your heart’s content.”
If you're looking to catch her eye on social media, fortunately a new bit of science revealed what women actually want to see on your 'gram.
