Murphy Supports Owen's Bond Dreams

Brittany Murphy is urging James Bond producers to cast her Sin City co-star Clive Owen as the next 007.

The English actor admitted yesterday (23MAY05) that while no one had yet approached him, he would love to take over Pierce Brosnan's role as the suave superspy.

And Murphy is supporting his bid, and set aside time at the British premiere of Sin City last night to enthuse: "I've been a fan of Pierce Brosnan for years and years. But if Pierce doesn't play Bond I think Clive would do an outstandingly superb job.

"He's devastatingly gorgeous - and married."
