Idris Elba’s ‘bulge’ gives rise to Internet frenzy

Idris Elba found himself at the center of much unwanted buzz late last week when a series of photos, which appeared to show a rather, ahem, large bulge in his suit pants, went viral.

The “Mandela” star was pictured on the London set of his new movie “A Hundred Streets,” with what appeared to be an astonishingly impressive package.

But, the handsome British actor revealed on Twitter Saturday to his 1.1 million followers, that the suspicious bulge was actually a microphone wire.

“The good news is i got a s**t load of followers. The bad news is that it’s a mic wire,’ along with the hashtag, ‘Ego went into spaceship mode though.’

Hours later, he jokingly added, ‘Calvin Klein called my mobile, they want me in their next campaign. Foot long john’s Coming Winter 2014.’ ”
