STATHAM EYES BOND ROLE
British actor JASON STATHAM is hoping to become the next JAMES BOND, branding the superspy part his "dream" role.
The Expendables star has risen to fame playing tough guy characters in movies including Snatch, The Italian Job and Crank.
But Statham, who is dating beauty Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is keen to take over from Daniel Craig as the next 007.
He tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, "You’d be lying if you said no. He has all the fanciest gadgetry. He’s in and out of bed with the sexiest, hottest women. And gets to save the world. Come on! It’s everybody’s dream, isn’t it?"
