Jason Statham Thinks He’d Make A “Decent” James Bond

At some point, a replacement for Daniel Craig (Spectre) will be sought, could English actor Jason Statham be the next actor to slip into James Bond’s tuxedo?

“Could I do it? Abso-f**king-lutely,” the 47-year-old actor told The Guardian while promoting his new movie Spy.”Would I do it? Abso-f**king-lutely. Is Daniel Craig a great Bond? Abso-f**king-lutely.”

“Yeah, I’d make a decent Bond,” he added. “But it’d be very, very different if I did it.”

If Statham is passed over for the role, would the opportunity of playing a Bond villain entice him? “Er …” Statham hesitated. “I don’t know if I wanna to do that. That’s not my thing. I’d rather play the other guy.”

Spy open in theaters June 5th.
