Kanye West backs Idris Elba to take on iconic 007 role as the debate continues, 'A black James Bond would be visionary’



    As the debate rages on over whether Idris Elba should be cast as the first ever black James Bond, he's landed some high-profile support in the form of Kanye West.

    The outspoken rapper, 37, insists that 42-year-old Idris would be perfect for the coveted role, currently held by Daniel Craig, branding the possibility 'visionary' casting.He told The Sun: 'I know Idris a little bit and he is a big talent. The movies he has been making are special, and when the role for James Bond comes up it needs to be his. 'James Bond is a role made for British actors and you won't find a British actor who has the talent of Idris. To be honest you won't find many anywhere who have his talent.'Artists should be visionaries. A black James Bond would be visionary no doubt. Something that 30 years ago would have seemed crazy should now be something that is a real possibility.'
