Dougray Scott`s mother denies the `next Bond` tabloid trash talk

Another crazy tabloid rumour can be put to rest today as Dougray Scott's mother has spoken to the press about the latest crazy claim from hacks that the "Mission: Impossible 2" star was set to become the next James Bond 007.

Speaking the Daily Record (UK), Elma Scott said "There have been rumours going around for years that Stephen (Dougray's real name) is to play James Bond. But my other son, David, contacted him about the latest reports and he said it's not true. He has other commitments so there is certainly nothing to say at the moment".



Scott was first mooted as a possible replacement for Brosnan five years ago. At the time, he insisted he could never live up to Connery's 007. He said: "I'm very flattered that people consider me good enough to play James Bond. But I couldn't play that part any better than Sean. To be honest, I am not convinced I am suave enough."

The Daily Record is part of the same newspaper group as the Sunday Mirror - who published the rumour last week. Nothing quite beats making your own news.

Thanks to `mathewww` for the alert.
