Denzel Washington launches campaign to play James Bond
He’s played a mafia don in American Gangster and a dodgy police detective inTraining Day but now Denzel Washington wants to be one of the good guys.
The Oscar-winning actor told Reddit users during an Ask Me Anything sessionyesterday that he wanted to take on the role of 007.
“The next James Bond? They better hurry up! Yes I would! Who's doing James Bond now..Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one?”
He even went so far as to launch a social media campaign, saying, “Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!”
Reddit users were quick to spread the word, with pm_me-please posting “I just tweeted #DenzelIsJamesBond everybody do it now!”
Along with the Bond question, Washington was also asked how he managed to look half his age.
“I come from a good gene pool. When I was young-young, it took a long time for me to be able to get into clubs, and my oldest daughter, she's mid-twenties now, she looks twelve or thirteen, so I think it's just genetics. And exercise, and eating right, but you know - Father Time is undefeated.”
…and whether he was a cat or a dog person.
“Cats, man, they're too independent. They p**s me off. they play when they want, and then they turn their back on you. Dogs, you throw the ball, and they bring it back, tongue hanging out, tail wagging. Cats are like "Not right now, too busy." Definitely a dog man.”
…and what he would sing at karaoke.
“It would have to be some kind of a... my son used to sing I BELIEVE I CAN FLY.”
