England midfielder, Jude Bellingham has said he would “love” to appear in a James Bond film, maybe even play the popular character.
Speaking to James Corden on Fox’s ‘World Cup After Hours’ show, the 23-year-old Real Madrid player was asked what he would want to do outside football.
Bellingham said, “I’d love to be in a movie.
“People always ask me, ‘What’s the thing I’d want to do out of football?’ – and I never really give it that much thought, but when I have I always come to ‘I’d love to be in a film’.
When pressed on the franchise, he added, “I’d love to be James Bond. I’ve watched all of them. I’ve watched the (Sean) Connery ones, Roger Moore, I’ve seen all of them. I love James Bond.”
Bellingham said he would be happy to start with a small role.

“I swear, I’d love to be in the back of a James Bond film. (Maybe) James Bond himself, but you’ve got to crawl before you can walk. They haven’t (found a new Bond) yet, have they?”
Corden challenged the midfielder to deliver the famous line, to which Bellingham replied “The name’s Bond, James Bond,” before joking, “I think I’ve got a shot!”
The comments came as Bellingham starred for England at the ongoing World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
