E! News – Idris Elba probably didn’t expect Pres. Barack Obama to talk about his sex appeal when he went to the White House last week for a screening of his awards season favorite drama Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

But that’s exactly what the commander-in-chief did when recalling the first time the actor was at the White House for a state dinner.

“He told everyone in the screening room…’Idris Elba couldn’t sit down because all the ladies, all the ladies were all over him. Give him a break today, ladies. Give him a break,'” Elba told me last night at the BAFTA LA Jaguar Britannia Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Elba added with a smile, “I was sitting in the room with a massive head.”

Idris stars in the biopic of the South African leader opposite Naomie Harris as his wife Winnie Mandela.

Elba said “it was an honor” to have Obama ask to see the movie.
