Idris Elba has ruled himself out of becoming the next James Bond.

Despite being the bookies' favourite, the actor's told Good Morning America he's 'too old' to 'run around in cars with ladies and Martinis'.

Daniel Craig has turned down a €90M offer to star in the next two spy movies, simply saying "I'm done".

48-year-old Craig has played James Bond in four films since 2005. Last year, he said he'd rather slash his wrists than return to the role.

Tom Hiddleston was in the mix to become the next 007, but his liaisons with Taylor Swift are expected to have dinted his chances.

Damien Lewis, best known for his role in Homeland, is another big name still in the running.
