Julian McMahon tips Ioan Gruffudd for Bond #6

Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd is so determined to land the role of James Bond he's refusing to talk about the possibility for fear of jinxing his 007 dream - reports ContactMusic.

The Horatio Hornblower star was outed as the favourite to land the part at a press conference yesterday by Fantastic Four co-star Julian McMahon, who was among the names mentioned for the role.

When Aussie McMahon was quizzed about the role, he stunned journalists by turning to Gruffudd and stating, `I think Ioan is playing Bond.`

But the Welsh actor would not be drawn into a conversation about the part: `I don't want to jinx it.`

Thanks to `LicenceToKill` for the alert.
