Rush Limbaugh has said that Idris Elba cannot play the role of James Bond because the actor is black.

The 63-year-old Radio host feels that Elba is not right for the role because Bond was created as a white guy and should stay that way, TMZ.com reported.

Limbaugh said on his radio show that now Sony was suggesting that next Bond should be played by the 42-year-old actor, a black Briton rather than a white from Scotland but that was not who Bond was, and he know that it is racist to probably even point this out.

Limbaugh tried to divert the topic by asking people what they would think if Barack Obama was played by George Clooney and Kate Hudson were to play Michelle.
