Why would the 44-year-old actor need to address this?

UK tabloid The Sun published an article with the headline, “Madonna sets tongues wagging when she’s seen all over Idris Elba at London party following his kickboxing debut.”

The “Wire” star has been training to become a kickboxer for Discovery reality show “Fighter,” which is expected to air in early 2017, and Madonna, 58, was ringside to capture the bout on social media, then hung with Elba afterwards.

The pair are apparently just friends, and actually worked together, believe it or not. Elba DJed for Madonna on the German leg of her “Rebel Heart” tour in 2015.

Oscar Isaac is the big bad Apocalypse in "X-Men: Apocalypse," uglifying him in a way we never thought possible.
