Rumours have been swirling that Aidan Turner could be set to be the next James Bond – and now rival star Idris Elba is shooting down his involvement.
The British actor was said to be among the front runners to be the next 007, however he’s insisted nobody from the franchise has contacted him.
“It’s all rumour-ville… I’m not speaking to the James Bond people, and they’re not speaking to me,” Idris said.
In the running: Aidan flew to Hollywood to meet Bond producers
The Luther actor admitted he was flattered so many people thought he’d make a good Bond.
“If human beings want to know if there’s any connectivity between all of us, the one thing I’ve heard around the world universally is, ‘You’ll be great as James Bond,”’ he told Hello! US.
It comes soon after Aidan reportedly flew to Los Angeles to have meetings with Hollywood producers about taking over the role from Daniel Craig.
If we needed evidence that another Irish man could be the next 007, this is it!
