Los Angeles, July 7 (IANS) Actress Zoe Saldana thinks “Pacific Rim” star Idris Elba is “one of the sexiest men alive” and should be the next James Bond.

“I think Idris should have been Bond a long time ago… Why wouldn’t (he) be Bond?” Elba told Britain’s Glamour magazine.
“I love him and adore him and honestly believe that he is one of the sexiest men alive, and my husband won’t mind me saying that because, trust me, he agrees with me,” she added.
