The British-born actor Idris Elba (no, he is not Jewish), made a small history. He became the first male to make the cover of Maxim by himself with the release of the men’s magazine’s September issue.

“This is the very first time, and there was no one else in the world more badass than Idris, ” Maxim editor-in-chief Kate Lanphear told Racked.
