Idris Elba seems to have ruled himself out of playing James Bond.
The actor’s name has been linked to the role of 007 for months – until Tom Hiddleston and Aidan Turner joined in the mix anyway.
But Idris himself appears to have dismissed any possibility of playing the British spy himself.
Speaking on Good Morning America, he joked that the idea was ‘terrible’ but confirmed he hadn’t been in any talks about the part.
But he went on to suggest that he might be a bit over the hill to play a part that required so much dashing around.
