After she posted the lovely tweet, John Legend shared a throwback picture from 1995 comparing present Idris Elba to his old picture. John captioned the picture by saying that his young version would have been puzzled about becoming the Sexiest Man Alive after Idris Elba. He added that 2019 John is also baffled by this idea.
John Legend’s throwback
1995 John would be very perplexed to be following 2018 @IdrisElba as #SexiestManAlive. Hell, 2019 John is about as equally perplexed but thank you @People for finding me sexy. I'll take it 🤓 pic.twitter.com/Gw1la5Ebv4
