Idris Elbamay bePEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, but hisdaughter Isanisn’t a fan of his new title.
The 17-year-old spoke to PEOPLE about hearing the news her father, 46, had been crowned in 2018 saying “even the school teachers were talking about it.”
“It was quite uncomfortable,” she admitted. “I was looking forward to seeing who it was this year, probably Michael B. Jordan or something like that but no, it was my dad.”
Flipping through the issue, Isan jokingly called theLutherstar “a poser.”
“And he says I’m the one who does the poses but this is pretty dramatic, I’d say,” she said while pointing to a photo of Elba reclining on his bed.
As for how she’s taking her father’s new status, she shared, “I’m handling it very well but inside I’m grossed out.”

Isan told PEOPLE in November that she found out about the announcement “on Instagram.”
“PEOPLE said, ‘Oh, we’re announcing the Sexiest Man Alive,’ and I was like, ‘Oh yes, can’t wait.’”
But she was less than enthused when she found out who the winner was. “I wake up in the morning and it’s my dad.I was like, ‘This is not what I was expecting. This is not very fun,’” Isan joked at a press event announcing her role as the Golden Globe Ambassador.
Unfortunately for Isan, escaping her father’s latest honor is becoming impossible.
“It’s definitely a topic around school, so I’m the one being teased about it,” she said after being asked if she plans to taunt her dad with the title. However, she was quick to clarify that all the teasing has been “in a nice way,” adding, “It’s a joking kind of way, but it gets awkward sometimes.”

During her speech in November, Isan said she was “honored” at the opportunity to be an ambassador and described the moment as “surreal.”
“Not only am I one of your favorite actors, I’m also a proud, proud father of this year’s new Golden Globe Ambassador — my beautiful daughter Isan,” Elba said. “Hey Issie, I know you’re probably cringing right now.”
