“Honestly, it’s a rumor that’s really starting to eat itself,” Idris shared. “If there was ever any chance of me getting Bond, it’s gone.”

He added, “Daniel Craig actually set the rumor off. About four years ago he said Idris Elba would be a great Bond and then it started to creep. I blame Daniel.”
