I hate the cover. The b&w closeup portrait, from the editorial would have made a much more striking cover shot, imo.

Also, I had no idea there was a sperm shortage in America.

I was expecting a super hot cover, but it looks better than Will Smith for GQ. It looks like a classic Esquire cover shot from the 60s/70s, but it doesn't work great in this era, he's too close. The editorial saves it, amazing portraits of Idris. And Lee, he looks gorgeous as always. Two beautiful men in the same magazine, swoon!

Go directly to jail!



This cover shoot is so damn dull. Maybe it's just me, but I think Idris has failed to live up to the constant hype over the past decade. He's a handsome man for sure, but he keeps getting golden opportunities and doesn't seem to capitalize on them. He seems more known for being considered attractive and for people saying he should be James Bond than he is for any of his roles.

To be honest I would love to see Idris with no clothes. I saw a movie with him and Taraji, and his arms were like damn!!! He has a hunk body like Chris Evans and Hemsworth and Henry Cavill. Wich magazine could do that???! Out? I still remember his Details cover.

There is something off about his mouth and I guess that's why they had him hid it in a lot of the shots.
