I DETEST Being CALLED The BLACK JAMES BOND!-IDRIS ELBA

Idris Elba as Mandela

One of the hottest Movie Stars in the world right now and widely acclaimed as a sex symbol Idris Elba has said in an interview how he detests the term the "Black James Bond". While appearing on ITV's Lorraine he said:‘I’ve always detested the phrase ‘Black Bond’, I just don’t understand it.’

‘We don’t say “White Bond”, we just say “Bond” so it suddenly becomes a black man and he’s a “Black Bond” so I hate that phrase and it’s a rumour that’s gotten out of control basically but that’s all

it is. There’s no truth in it whatsoever.

Idris Elba also revealed the hardest part he has ever had to play which came in the film Mandela....Elba said that the moment on the film where Nelson Mandela loses his son while he is in prison reminded him of his own emotions as a father to his eleven-year-old daughter Isan. 

He said: ‘That was one of the toughest scenes I’ve ever had to play... I was in South Africa millions of miles away from my own daughter and it just brought tears to my eyes knowing that if anything happened to my kid I wasn’t allowed to run back to my kid as soon as possible, that would be heartbreaking.’
