I was in CVS and saw Idris on the cover and didnt think twice about paying $6.00 dollars for a magazine. I have been so intrigued with this man every since I watched the first episode of the Wire. Idris seems to make the right choices in all the movie roles he accepts. Even when he is playing a lown down...he still seems to manage to be the guy you love to hate. God, I love this man...and the photos...leaves me wanting more. Thank you Essence! I loved the article especially hearing Idris admit to being a freak behind closed doors. I wanted to scream! I can only pray for a man like Idris.
