http://www.etonline.com/news/161872_roger_moore_idris_elba_j ames_bond_english/ According to Sir Roger Moore, English born and bred actor Idris Elba isn't sufficiently "English-English" to be James Bond. In an interview with Paris Match magazine, a French news outlet, Moore -- who played Bond in seven movies between 1973 and 1985 -- said it was "unrealistic" for The Wire and Luther star Idris Elba to take over the role. The Daily Mail translated some of his remarks: "A few years ago, I said that Cuba Gooding Jr. would make an excellent Bond, but it was a joke! … Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be 'English-English,"" Moore was reported as saying in response to a question about Elba becoming Bond. The Scot, Welshman, and Irishman he's referring to are Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan, respectively. English actor Daniel Craig has played the iconic spy in the most recent films. The new trailer for the next movie, Spectre, was released this week. http://i.imgur.com/eI7517s.jpg?1 |
