Idris Elb-nah
Idris Elba has told us what we probably all knew: he was never in contention to play James Bond.
"They’re going younger", said the 53-year-old.
"And I wish them all the luck of the world. I can't wait. It's going to be amazing. I'm honestly not in the race ever. I wasn't in the race in the first place".
