Idris Elba

Actor Idris Elba is one who opens up about his disappointment with racism.

Yet again, last year he expressed his displeasure at some racist remarks after rumors went rife about he becoming the next James Bond, replacing Daniel Craig.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the London-based actor said: “You just get disheartened when you get people from a generational point of view going, ‘it can’t be.’ And it really turns out to be the color of my skin.”
