In a new interview, he revealed how he was fuming when he was ‘misquoted’ saying that Idris Elba was not right to play Bond - saying even Sean Connery was a disappointment’ because he was Scottish.
The former Bond, 88, said: “I didn’t like it when I was misquoted as saying that Idris Elba would not be right to play Bond, implying that I was racist.
“I am sure he is a splendid actor - in fact I know he is - but he doesn’t typify what Ian Fleming had in his mind.
“I think even Sean Connery was a disappointment, being a Scot.”
