X-Men3 star Vinnie Jones wants a Bond villain role

Vinnie Jones wants to play a James Bond villain in his next movie role - reports British tabloid The Sun.

The ex-footballer is currently working on X-Men 3 in America but already has his sights set on a new challenge.

Vinnie, 40, said: "I'm playing Juggernaut at the minute and it's great fun.

"I wasn't really a comic kid but I've got into my role for X-Men.

"You don't have to worry about too much dialogue as a superhero but it's a nice rest as I've just done 110 pages on another new film, Johnny Was.

"It's good being a superhero but I'd like to have a go at James Bond.

"I think I'd be a great villain so I'll have to see what I can do."

Vinnie has already met Daniel Craig and reckons he would be the perfect nemesis for the new Bond.

The Lock Stock star added: "I got talking to Daniel about two months ago in Los Angeles.

"He was a bit sceptical about the role at the time and didn't really know what was happening.

"Hugh Jackman, who I'm working with on X-Men, was also in the running but he was undecided about it.

"There's a lot of good movies in the pipeline so I'll have to see what I do next.

"But Johnny Was will be a hit. It's a gangster movie set in Ireland and I play the lead.

"The film also features Lennox Lewis, Roger Daltrey, Samantha Mumba, Patrick Bergin and Eriq La Salle.

"We've still got some final voiceovers to do but it'll be out next year."

Thanks to `Kyvan` for the alert.
