"Isn't 007 supposed to be handsome?" actor responds to James Bond rumours

Idris Elba responds to rumours that he could be the next and first black James Bond. Check out his tweets.

Earlier this week, US talk show host Rush Limbaugh criticised the rumours, stating that the original author wrote James Bond as "a white man from Scotland", therefore  the character should not be played by a black actor.

"That's not who James Bond is, and I know it's racist to probably even point this out," he said.

Idris Elba has responded to the rumours, the actor took to his official twitter account to respond.
