<p>You wanna know why Idris Elba would make the perfect James Bond? It&#8217;s not the acting chops or the iconic roles. It&#8217;s not the Golden Globe or magazine covers. It&#8217;s not his being painfully aware of the effect he has on women. It&#8217;s the <em>look</em>. He has the look of a suave gentleman, one who could go from holding a gin martini (shaken, not stirred) to a Walther PPK with ease. One who could coolly kill for Queen and country without a second thought. That&#8217;s the essence of James Bond.</p>

<p>Bond author Anthony Horowitz said his piece earlier this week, suggesting that Elba wasn&#8217;t quite right for the role. <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/1/9239033/idris-elba-james-bond-anthony-horowitz-racism">He was wrong</a>. But rather than dredge all that up again, we thought we&#8217;d show you. <em>The Verge</em> director Hadaya Turner created this short video that shows that, if looks could truly kill, Idris Elba would have earned the license long ago.</p>
