Idris Elba, is that you?
On Monday, fans of PEOPLE’sSexiest Man Alivefound themselves doing a double take after a doll meant to look like the actor recently surfaced on social media.
“How many people had to approve this? Did none of them know what #IdrisElba looks like?” one fanwroteon Twitter.
“How on earth can this be @idriselba?” another usersaid.
Instead of capturing Elba’s muscular physique, the doll was on the more slender side and featured a bald head.

“Cannot stop laughing at this ‘Idris Elba’ doll tears coming out my eyes,” anothertweeted.
“Fire whoever attempted this Idris Elba Doll,” one usersaid.
“Stop the madness right now… please fire the folks that came up with this ridiculousness,” another fanwrote.
Some fans even went as far as saying the doll looks likeA Million Little Thingsstar Romany Malco.
“Idris Elba doll?! More like Romany Malco,” one fansaid.
“Why Idris Elba doll look like the dude from 40 year old virgin?” another userasked.
“This doll is supposed to be Idris Elba but all I see is the black guy from ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin,” a different fantweeted.
Malco later responded saying, “I’m done with ALL of y’all.”
Despite seemingly missing the mark, the doll can be bought for a whopping £850 (approximately $1,110),according toThe Independent.
Elba has yet to comment on the doll — perhaps he’s still reveling in his latest title.
When Elba first heard he was named Sexiest Man Alive, he told PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?”
“Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out,” he continued. “I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise— an ego boost for sure.”
