Since then, it's been nothing but speculation, as well as the hopes and dreams of many. The leak came about 3 years after Elba's name was first tossed around as successor to Craig. Roger Moore has some further explaining to do.Īn exclamation mark of sorts was put on rumors of Elba being the heir apparent to Craig earlier this year, when it was revealed, via the infamous Sony email leaks of last fall, that then Sony chief Amy Pascal shared with Elizabeth Cantillon, former executive vice president of production for Sony subsidiary Columbia Pictures (distributor of the James Bond films), that: "Idris should be the next Bond." Is this like when Obama was running for president the first time, and his status as an American citizen was challenged by many claiming that he wasn't actually "American-American," in part because his father is Kenyan? But, from where I'm standing, this smells foul Sir Moore! Or is there indeed something that's been lost in translation that only my friends in the UK can help the rest of us understand?Īs you can see, I'm trying to be open to other interpretations of this that I may not be aware of, instead of immediately jumping to conclusions. In fact, most of them had rather modest upbringings. Is it because Idris is black and, according to Moore anyway, that makes him less "English"? Or is this less of a race issue, and more of class divide? Although I don't believe Moore nor Sean Connery, or any of the other Bonds came from upper class or elite families - except for maybe David Niven, who appeared in only 1 Bond film. Is he suggesting that, because Idris is of African descent - specifically born to a Sierra Leonean father and Ghanaian mother - he isn't "English-English"? Although Elba was born and raised in London. I can only ask, please Sir Moore, translate for us so that we all can understand, if you believe that we're incorrect in our assumptions. His only reply, via Twitter, was that what he said was "lost in translation." Moore didn't clarify, even after news of his dissent spread across social media and fans took him to task. I know what "unrealistic" means, buy what does he mean by "English-English"? Moore's exact quote was: "Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be 'English-English.' Nevertheless it's an interesting idea… but unrealistic."

This comes after many months of rumors that Elba would be heir to the Bond movie throne once Daniel Craig's stint is up.
Speaking to Paris Match magazine, veteran actor and former James Bond, Roger Moore, shared that he felt Idris Elba would make an "unrealistic" 007, because he's not English enough apparently.
