OH IDRIS, YOU tease!
The ‘Luther’ actor is having a lot of fun on social media entertaining those rumours that he’s lined up to be the next James Bond.
The star posted a selfie (which looks like it could’ve been taken on a noughties Motorola phone), under the words “my name’s Elba, Idris Elba,” echoing the spy’s famous catchphrase.
Seriously, what filter is that?
He’s adding fuel to a fire started by American film producer Antoine Fuqua, who told the Daily Star that Bond producer Barbara Broccoli had said “it is time” for a non-white actor to play agent 007. (He’s since denied said conversation ever took place.)
Before anyone gets too excited, Elba posted another tweet a few hours later saying, “Don’t believe the HYPE …”
Daniel Craig’s tuxedo is barely cold, guys!
Speaking of, the current Bond hasn’t even started work on film five yet, so let’s all hold our horses, yeah?
