Media: 'James Bond' Author Racist for Idris Elba Comment: On Wednesday, new James Bond author Anthony Horowitz told The Daily Mail (UK) that he didn’t think Idris Elba, star of Luther and The Wire, would be a good fit for Bond.
“Idris Elba is a terrific actor, but I can think of other black actors who would do it better,” Horowitz said. “For me, Idris Elba is a bit too rough to play the part. It’s not a color issue. I think he is probably a bit too ‘street’ for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.”
Naturally, the world ended.
