JAMIE FOXX - FOXX DREAMS OF PLAYING FIRST BLACK BOND

FOXX DREAMS OF PLAYING FIRST BLACK BOND

Oscar winner JAMIE FOXX is desperate to make history by becoming the first black actor to play JAMES BOND.
Current star Daniel Craig recently suggested it could be time for the first black Bond in the wake of Barack Obama’s election as the first African-American president in U.S. history.
And Ray star Foxx has put his name forward as the man to replace Craig when he decides to call it quits - revealing he would inject his own personality into the suave English spy.
Asked by U.S. news show Access Hollywood whether he would like to play Bond, he says, "Of course! I'd put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know. Maybe not drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. Bond would drink dark liquor."
And Foxx admits he has already received backing to take on the coveted role.
He adds, "I was in London and I had to give an award to Daniel Craig… and I went up and said, ‘Bond. Black Bond.’ And everybody just lost it... Black Bond would be cool."
