Idris: I'm too old to star as the new Bond

- by JOHN WARD

IDRIS Elba has poured cold water on rumours he will be the next James Bond.

The star said age is against him, adding: “I can't believe I am still being asked this at 53.

“When you sign up to Bond you sign up for a decade of making films, often a bit longer. Nobody wants to see Bond running around in his mid-60s.”
