It's apparently in this documentary where he says he's very sorry and tells Jason Lee he thought he was a brilliant footballer. Conveniently enough.

>But when Idris Elba is "too urban" to play James Bond
Is this an actual quote from someone? Any time this idea comes up it's always fans clamouring for Elba, the producers saying they'd love to cast him and Idris saying he's never had any desire to play James Bond.

Thanks, hadn't heard that before. Thankfully the writer seems to be pretty much alone on that and not in any position to influence casting.
>“For me, Idris Elba is a bit too rough to play the part. It’s not a color issue. I think he is probably a bit too ‘street’ for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.”
I'm not sure exactly what 'street' means it sounds like he doesn't understand the difference between Stringer Bell and Idris Elba!
