Veteran actor Roger Moore has blamed a French magazine for embroiling him in a racism row after it reported his comments that Idris Elba cannot play James Bond because he was not 'English-English' enough.
Sir Roger made the comments in an interview with French magazine Paris Match, although the former Bond star claimed his words had been 'lost in translation'.

Sir Roger told Paris Match: 'A few years ago, I said that [black actor] Cuba Gooding Jnr would make an excellent Bond, but it was a joke!' replies Sir Roger, 87, who starred in seven Bond movies between 1973 and 1985.

'Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be "English-English",' he continues.
'Nevertheless, it's an interesting idea, but unrealistic.'

Naturally Twitter has been outraged

It's a generational thing, I'm sure.

Personally I don't think Idris Elba should be Bond because he isn't a good enough actor. I loved 'Luther', but his acting was a little cringey sometimes. Colin Salmon though... if they were looking for a black Bond, he would be perfect.

If later they choose him
they will
and use his birth place
as part of a new story

Get the **** outta here!!!

I would like to see Alan Carr get a chance

It's true... He mispronounced lots of words and it annoyed me.

I still would though.

I adore him! I only said that he wouldn't make a good Bond.

he strikes me a bit of an arse tbh

I think he would make an amazing Bond. :flutter:

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2: Oh LT you are a nutter --

-- but then again, it makes as much sense as a black actor playing James Bond.

Why don't they just write a totally new script about a black British spy and leave the Fleming character alone?

It's as daft as making 'Han Solo' 'Harriet Solo' - a 6' 2' Drag Queen from Bermondsey, or getting Ronnie Corbett to play 'Samson' in a remake of 'Samson and Delilah'. :shrug:

"Bond, the gay years"
