Dear Idris: Please Don't Quit Your Day Job

I'm feeling some type of way about this. Idris just took up kickboxing a couple of months ago and he's already training for his first professional fight against a seasoned kickboxer!

What are you thinking, boo?

For those of you who haven't heard, yesterday Idris announced a new documentary series called "Idris Elba: Fighter" that will follow his kickboxing training journey for a year.  Idris will travel the the kickboxing, and will participate in his first no-holds-barred competition!

No holds barred????  Dude, you know the other guy is going to be seriously jealous of you and will pull out all kind of tricks to try to blemish your beautiful face and body. 

But, alas, if you love it I love it. I will be there to watch and support you 100%.  

Good luck on your kickboxing journey!

Whose Your Favorite Brit?

Idris is up against two other British actors, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) and Tim Hiddleston (The Night Manager), for Best Leading Actor at the Emmy's in September.  I'm sure the these other two gentlemen are deserving of the award, but they just don't stand a chance against the star of Luther!

The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sept 18, 2016.
