Daniel Craig: Kanye West should play James Bond

Daniel Craig thinks Kanye West should play James Bond.

The ‘SPECTRE’ star has already tipped a woman or a black actor to take on the role of the suave super spy, and after hearing Kanye’s name put in the frame he claims the rapper would be just as good a choice as anybody to take the wheel of the franchise once he parks up his Aston Martin for the final time.

He quipped:  »Is Kanye the new one? F**k it, yeah, get him in now. »

However, Craig is growing a little tired of the endless speculation about his successor especially as he’s yet to call time on his 007 tenure.

He added to GQ Australia magazine:  »You know Roger Moore’s also 200-1? So too David Beckham. Whatever. On the list of my priorities this is not even near the bottom. »

Perhaps his irritability when talking about his successor stems from the pressure he is under for upcoming film ‘SPECTRE’ – his fourth outing in the role – to be a success.

He said:  »When I first started these movies I didn’t know any better – I was naive and didn’t worry about a great deal, I just got on with it.

 »As they went on, the pressure built. People thought ‘Casino Royale’ would bomb, it was a massive success and they were like, ‘What are you going to do now?’ Then ‘Quantum of Solace’, OK, it was difficult and a huge amount of pressure, but then with ‘Skyfall’, again it was, ‘What are you going to do now?’ Well, we got Sam Mendes on board and it suddenly became a bit easier.

 »’Skyfall’ made a billion. That’s brilliant, but then you go, ‘What the f**k is a billion dollars?’ I can’t conceive how many f***ing tickets sales that is, I could probably look it up, but I’m not going to, I’ve better things to do. »

Craig, 47, himself admits he has no idea when he’ll quit playing Bond, but after four films he’s still relishing the part.

He said:  »That’s the question isn’t it – do you leave the party early or do you stay and get p***ed on the floor? It’s a big debate and at the moment I just don’t know. »
