Idris Elba can't be James Bond 'because he's black' says US shock jock Rush Limbaugh

British actor Idris Elba can't play James Bond because he's black, a US shock jock has claimed.

Elba - who achieved international fame in his role as Russell 'Stringer' Bell in HBO hit The Wire - is the front runner to eventually replace Daniel Craig as 007.

But radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his show on Tuesday that Elba should not be considered to play the famous secret agent, the Daily Mail reports.


James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming. He was white and Scottish. Period. That is who James Bond is, was," Limbaugh said.

"But now [they are] suggesting that the next James Bond should be Idris Elba, a black Briton, rather than a white from Scotland."

"That’s not who James Bond is and I know it’s racist to probably point this out."

Limbaugh took his argument a step further, saying casting Elba as Bond is like casting George Clooney as President Obama or or Kelsey Grammer as Nelson Mandela.

Limbaugh went on to compare the idea of casting Elba as 007 to Kate Hudson playing Michelle Obama and Scarlett Johansson as Condoleezza Rice.

He ended by saying "we're just playing here."

Current Bond actor Craig has been spotted working on 'Spectre,' the next film in the long-running franchise.

:smh:

oh they damn near had a fucking race war over Annie being black...............
 
Re: Idris Elba can't be James Bond 'because he's black' says US shock jock Rush Limba

Idris Elba can work in the USA, but internationally i think the movie will flop unless they can write one hell of a story.

Why not? They allow Whites to portray Jesus. :hmm:
 
Re: Idris Elba can't be James Bond 'because he's black' says US shock jock Rush Limba

He's obviously joking. No one is stupid enough to compare casting Elba as Bond to casting Clooney as Obama. James Bond isn't a real person, Barack Obama is.

What i don't like about him being James Bond is that his size. Is his height. Size. Maybe it's just me but big guys don't seem to do movie action very well. And Daniel Craig raised the bar for action with Bond.

He can pull it off acting. But i don't watch action movies for oscar performances.

Agreed.... "It is just you". :yes:

Because some folks completely disagree with the 'big guys don't do movie action very well' statement. :smh::rolleyes:

Especially ME.... and a few of these guys... :cool:

Then it's obvious we disagree on what "good" action means. The only GOOD action flicks from those actors you posted was Daniel Craig... who i already said set the bar for me as action Bonds. And Matt Damon. Both under 6ft.

You gotta be kidding me. :smh:

  • So Gladiator... was not a GOOD action flick, huh? :rolleyes:
  • And Independence Day... was not a GOOD action flick either, huh? :rolleyes:
  • How about Excalibur? Rob Roy? Batman Begins? Training Day? Man on Fire? Book of Eli? :rolleyes:

Daniel Craig has only played James Bond.... And That's it. :dunno:
He plays the exact same role..... In every movie. :hmm: (A British Spy)

At least the other 'action stars' I mentioned mix it up a bit.

(ie. Westerns, Sci-Fi, Black-Ops, Roman Soldiers, Superheroes, Government Agents, Bodyguards, American Soldiers, Prize Fighters, Skinheads, Sleeper Cells, Cops, Criminals, Ship Captains, Modern Day, Ancient Times, 'Period Pieces', etc, etc)

Daniel Craig hasn't done ANYTHING ELSE... (in terms of 'action movies')... worth mentioning. :smh:

Agreed, he is a good actor. :yes: And his version of James Bond is decent....
But so was Sean Connery's, Pierce Brosnan's, and Timothy Dalton's versions (when they took on the role). :rolleyes:

Re: Idris Elba can't be James Bond 'because he's black' says US shock jock Rush Limba

I'd rather see a Luther movie anyway. Fuck a James Bond.
I don't care that much for Daniel Craig's wooden acting ass, either.

Didn't they establish in the last James Bond movie that James Bond is just a code name? Can't anybody be James Bond?

You DO realize we're arguing viewpoint? Right? It's apparent that we have different views of what GOOD is. So again. Your view of what good action is. Differs from what i view good action is.

1st question. No. It wasn't a good action flick to me. It was a good story. Good acting.
2nd question. No. It was a fun movie. It was cute and funny. Pretty lights.
3. None. Nope. Not to me.

You're seem to be arguing something i'm not arguing. lol

And that list you highlighted. Was good to YOU. And man thats SUPER fine and SUPER dandy. To me. Not so much.

And you must be pulling a ME and not reading my whole post lol. I said the only 2 actors i liked on that list for ACTION Were Daniel Craig with his joint and Matt Damon with his.

So you had a shot because you think she's fat?

Nobody said:
Imagine this for a second.

What it must be like for her. She goes into a thread, and sees all of these women. She feels frustrated and mad at the hand life has dealt her...and she lashes out here because she really can't express these hateful and bitter feelings in real life...

Also, if you are plain ole undesirable in every way, you can scapegoat it in race.

She must think black men don't want her because she's black, and not because she's insufferable.
