Actor Idris Elba says the sex symbol status and the female attention he gets confuses him.

The 43-year-old British actor said he finds himself unattractive when he looks in the mirror, reported Femalefirst.

"When I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, I look like bad. I don't know what everyone else is looking at," Elba said.

The "Beasts of No Nation" has been dubbed "the Sexiest Actor Alive" by Glamour magazine for the second year in a row, in its May 2016 issue, but Elba is just focused on taking care of his family.

"I'm not into the whole fame thing. I don't have celebrity friends. I have the same ones I had from when I was a kid and for me, it's about my family. I would like to my entire family happy and secure. That's a lifelong dream of mind: to make them happy," he said.
