Idris Elba reveals why Sabrina Dhowtre is the one for him

Idris Elba, who was named People’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive‘ for 2018 has revealed why his fiancee Sabrina Dhowtre is the one for him.



The actor who proposed to beauty queen back in February told People in an interview that they “have good chemistry. She makes me laugh and we share common goals. She makes me happy. She makes me celebrate my successes and when I’m not too sure about stuff, she makes me think.”

On the day he proposed to Sabrina, Elba says his bended-knee proposal

“was the most nerve-wracking thing for me ever.” “But in terms of wanting to make someone feel super special and feel my love, that was pretty romantic for me,” he adds in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.

According to the 46-year-old actor, he had planned to propose to Dhowre on Valentine’s Day

“but that was going to be problematic” so he decided to do it at a screening of his film, Yardie, which he directed. “It was a little spontaneous if I’m honest,” he says. “I was at a cast and crew screening and among people I loved. We had all worked so hard for this project so I was like I’m doing it right now, here, today.”

For plans of their wedding, Idris says

“It’s a special day, but we both have our own ideas,” he adds. “I want about 19 deejays. There have to be, c’mon!”
