Idris Elba Explains the Mystery Bulge in His Pants - What Is It?!

Idris Elba is speaking out after a photo went viral in which he appears to be sporting a large bulge in his pants.

“The good news is i got a shit load of followers. The bad news is, that is a mic wire,” the 41-year-old actor tweeted. He added in hashtag format, “Ego went into spaceship mode though.”

Idris later joked that “Calvin Klein called my mobile, they want me in their next campaign. Foot long john’s Coming Winter 2014.”

The photo was taken on the set of his upcoming movie A Hundred Streets earlier this week in London, England.

It sure will be a long time before anyone forgets Hollywood’s most infamous bulge of recent years – that of Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm!
