Idris Elba shows off his biceps in a form-fitting T-shirt ahead of his appearance on The Daily Show

Idris Elba looked handsome as ever while greeting fans in New York City on Tuesday.

The Luther star, 49, showed off his impressive biceps in a form-fitting black T-shirt and matching pants, ahead of his appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

The English actor finalized his look with a pair of trendy green, black, and white Nike sneakers and black shades. 

He further accessorized the look with a silver watch and a number of gold rings on his fingers. 

The talented musician sported neatly trimmed facial hair and wore his hair in his usual closely shaved style.

Earlier in the day Idris took to his Instagram to promote his upcoming movie Beast with a funny video featuring Khabane Lame – a Senegalese-Italian social media personality known for his silent TikTok videos.

The clip began with Idris walking to a car, while Lame walked nearby, watching Beast on his cellphone. 

Upon recognizing Idris he followed him and got into the same car as the actor. 

‘This is my car,’ Idris said, confused as to why Lame got in, but the other man just shrugged. 

‘You okay?’ Idris proceeded to ask to which Lame simply showed him a scene from the movie on his phone, where the actor gets attacked by a lion outside of his car.

Confused: The clip start off with with Lame following Idris into his car, and showing him a clip of Beast on his cellphone

What’s going on! ‘You okay?’ Idris proceeded to ask, not understanding why the other man got into his vehicle 

Lame then went on to show the actor that he should have simply locked his car door to avoid the situation. 

‘No, no,’ Idris replied, as the scene appeared to repeat itself in real life, with him desperately trying to reach to close the door before the lion attacked them. 

‘Thankfully my insurance covers the damage…’ he joked in the caption of the post.  

Elba plays Dr. Nate Samuels in the upcoming action-packed adventure film. Samuels is a man who brings his two daughters to Africa, where he first met his late wife, when their lives are turned upside down. 

Smart: Lame specifically shows him a scene in which Idris gets attacked by a lion, and silently questions why the actor didn’t simply lock his car door to avoid the situation

Funny: ‘No, no,’ Idris replied, as the scene appeared to repeat itself in real life, with him desperately trying to reach to close the door before the lion attacked them

‘It’s about a family that go back to a small village in West Africa to mourn the death of a loved one, my ex-wife and my childrens’ mother,’ he explained during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

‘We find out that the village is like empty and it’s been ravaged by something or someone and it’s terrible,’ he said. 

The predator turns out to be a massive rogue lion. ‘Basically, they find themselves cornered by a rogue lion who has been sort of broken by poachers.’

‘We based that lion in the movie on a lion that’s been extinct for a long time, it’s called a Barbary lion. It was a huge lion, much bigger than the average lion, so for the film we just amplified the fact that this was really big,’ he added. 

Beast – directed by Baltasar Kormákur – is set to premiere in cinemas on August 19th.
