There has been allegation that Roger Moore in an interview to a French magazine said that Idris Elba cannot play James Bond because he was not "English English" enough. What is English English ? Some one born in England. James Bond has in the past been played by a Scottish, Welsh and Irish. Idris Elba was born in Hackney, London in England UK. I guess that makes him English English. But Sir Roger Moore denied the allegation. He said he told Paris Match " A few years ago, I said that (black actor) Cuba Gooding jnr would make an excellent Bond, but it was a joke!" replies Sir Roger. He went further to say " Although James may have been played by s Scot,a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be English - English." "Nevertheless, it's interesting idea, but unrealistic.
