Idris Elba is on Hot Ones to take the challenge and eat some of the spiciest wings around. Can he take the heat?
I could never be on Hot Ones. As much as I enjoy watching this segment, I am a wimp when it comes to spicy foods. But there’s a bit of a sadistic side of me that enjoys watching big strong men turn into a puddle of tears trying to consume these fiery hot wings. Idris Elba is no exception, and I’m starting to notice a pattern of reactions of those who suffer through the heat.
Almost every person who is in pain, immediately looks for someone to lash out on. Whether it’s cursing out the host, or trying to find the person responsible for this interview-style idea, half of the guests range on how outraged they are from their hot pain.
Don’t believe me? Watch Gordon Ramsay’s reaction to these spicy wings and see how he can hardly stay in his seat throughout the interview.
