James Bond Author says Idris Elba is too 'street' for the role. Apologises later.

Anthony Horowitz, writer of the new addition of the James Bond series has apologised for comments he made on Idris Elba playing the role of James Bond in the upcoming addition to the series.
People had however been clamouring for a Black James Bond and when Idris Elba was recommended, Horowitz said.
"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." he said while doing promotional interviews for his new James Bond novel, Trigger Mortis.
