He said that during an interview with Paris Match Magazine.
“A few years ago, I said that Cuba Gooding Jr. would make an excellent Bond, but it was a joke! Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be ‘English-English.’ Nevertheless, it’s an interesting idea, but unrealistic.”
However, the 87-years-old took to his twitter account posting that he is lost of words.
"An interview I gave to Paris Match implies I said something racist about Idris Elba. That is simply untrue. #Lost in translation."
