Idris Elba covers ESQUIRE’s ‘Next Generation Hollywood’ September issue (video)

Posted by | Cyrena Rose

‘London’s Finest’, actor Idris Elba, is part of ESQUIRE Magazine’s September-issue cover(s).  Elba, along with Taylor Kitsch, Armie Hammer, Aaron Paul, Garrett Hedlund, and Aaron Johnson show men how to look dapper!  These leading men are decked-out in garments from top designers including Ralph Lauren Black Label, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and John Varvatos.

To avoid squeezing the 6 up-and-coming big screen heartthrobs on 1 cover, the mag decided to split it into 3; shown below side-by-side.

The issue features the ‘Next Generation of Hollywood Stars’; these actors are on the verge of becoming extraordinary, and over the next year, in films  large and small, the six men assembled will try to prove they can open a movie, captivate a nation and fulfill the other sacred duties we require of our movie stars.

So, what does Idris think of being considered an international actor:

“…I think I’m being considered as an international actor which is great because you know, I started off in England and I have an audience there and now, I have an audience in the States.  The States was always my goal.  Hollywood is always my goal.  I came, you know… I came and I conquered.”
