It's no secret now that Mahershala Ali has quickly become one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood and is revered to a pretty high degree by his Black fans, in particular.

So, naturally, when the Moonlight star is celebrated in any way, healthy pandemonium ensues. Such was the case when the Oscar winner's GQ cover was revealed, and we definitely see what all the fuss is about.

The publication took to Twitter early this morning to reveal that the actor is now their latest cover star in a bright and summery shoot that has its readers yearning for a tropical cocktail and, of course, the rest of the photos, which did not fail to impress.

See how Ali recently made history in the BET Breaks video, above.
