Oscar winner Denzel Washington admitted in an interview that his dream would be to play the iconic spy, James Bond.
Washington recently participated in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything Chat” and answered random questions from fans, one of which was whether or not he would play James Bond.
“The next James Bond? They better hurry up,” said Washington. “Yes I would! Who's doing James Bond now..Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one? Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!
James Washington. Denzel Bond!”
James Bond movies have been one of the longest running series of all time, beginning in 1962 and still being made in present times. The role of Bond has always been played by a Caucasian, which seems to be what Washington wants to change. Notable actors that have played the British spy include Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig.
According to Contact Music, a hashtag on Twitter has been created for the campaign of Washington playing Bond. #DenzellsJamesBond is what Washington urged fans to tweet to get him the role.
Whether Washington is joking or not, he would make an excellent spy considering all the action films he has been in, including American Gangster and Man on Fire.
