Stephen Hawking Goes in More Depth About Why He'd Be a Great Bond Villain
01/18/2015 07:56 pm EST
So with a movie about his life cleaning up at awards shows this season, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has made it no secret that he'd like to play a villain in an upcoming James Bond film.
But...how would that work? Why would Hawking be right for the role?
He explained it to Wired Magazine:
"My ideal role would be a baddie in a James Bond film. I think the wheelchair and the computer voice would fit the part."
It also makes sense in a classic narrative way: often in fiction people with physical infirmities are given over to great mental abilities, and very often (especially when pitted against a hero who's a gorgeous, powerful physical specimen) this can turn them to evil.
