See I don’t get why you say something you believe in and then go ahead to apologize, the apology is even worse than the initial statement. Anyway, a Bond author, Anthony Horowitz has revealed that he feels Elba is incapable of playing the bond character, saying that he was too “rough” and “street” for the role. In an interview with DailyMail he stated:
For me, Idris Elba is a bit too rough to play the part. It’s not a colour issue. I think he is probably a bit too “street” for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.
And THEN! (The apology part)
LONDON (AP) — The author of the new James Bond novel apologized on Tuesday after he said that British actor Idris Elba is “too street” to play 007.
In an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper published over the weekend, Anthony Horowitz, the author of the new Bond novel “Trigger Mortis,” said Elba is “too ‘street’ for Bond.”
Elba, 42, has been rumored to be among the actors considered to replace Daniel Craig as the next Bond. He would be the first black actor to play the spy should he be cast.
“Idris Elba is a terrific actor, but I can think of other black actors who would do it better,” Horowitz was quoted saying. “It’s not a color issue … Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.”
Horowitz said Tuesday he was thinking of Elba’s gritty detective role in the BBC crime drama “Luther” during the interview, and didn’t mean to cause offense.
“In the article I expressed the opinion that to my mind Adrian Lester would be a better choice but I’m a writer not a casting director so what do I know?” he said in a statement that was posted to his Twitter account.
