P.S. the first paragraph of that Bruce Jay Friedman is a highly recommend argument in Eastwood's favor here
Also I think the main exercise of this thread will be to prove that Idris Elba is in fact the western world's manliest celebrity, I mean there is an entire Tyler Perry movie that is basically just about how captivatingly manly he is
