I know this is a strange story, y’all. But it’s also one that’s too intriguing for me to pass up. Apparently, according to his most recent co-star, Kate Winslet, our collective heartthrob Idris Elba “has a thing for feet.” Like, he’s into them.
During a recent interview on “The Graham Norton Show,” Winslet said that during a sex scene in their new movie A Mountain Between Us, Kate had to keep her socks on because Idris has “a thing for feet.”
If you’ve seen the trailer for the film, you know that Winslet and Elba play two strangers who find themselves battling the elements and fighting for survival after a small plane crashes on the side of a mountain.
And, SPOILER ALERT, alone on the mountain, their relationship turns romantic. You probably could have seen that coming.
So there’s a sex scene that required both Kate and Idris to strip but Elba requested that Kate keep her socks on because feet are a turn on for him.
Winslet said, “We got naked but Idris asked me to keep my socks on – I thought he didn’t like feet but, it is the opposite, Idris loves feet!”
And in case you thought she was spreading vicious lies about the man, Elba confirmed: “I’ve just got a bit of a thing.”
In regards to that sex scene, Winslet said that with her experience in sex simulation, she had to take charge.
“I had to get quite bossy. I’ve done quite a lot of these scenes before and poor Hany [Abu-Assad, the director of the film] was really quite nervous and had an extensive shot list and I thought, ‘We are never going to get this done.’ Idris was a bit nervous too and everything was moving a bit slowly so I just said, ‘Okay boys, this is what we are going to do…’ and we just got on with it.”
So interesting.
Personally, feet are borderline gross to me. But “different strokes, for different folks and so on and so forth and Scooby Dooby Doo.” Any thoughts and feelings on this new information?
I was going to just tell y’all about Idris. But this little admission got me wondering about other celebrities and what turns them on, so of course, I compiled a list. Check it out on the following pages
