James Bond: Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan SPEAKS OUT on next 007 rumours

The incumbent James Bond may have one more film to go, but that doesn’t stop fans speculating who will replace him.

And one star whose name gets brought up is Fifty Shades of Grey’s Jamie Dornan.

The 36-year-old has been promoting Robin Hood and was asked if he’d like to take up the Licence to Kill after Craig.

Speaking with Belfast Telegraph, the Northern Irish actor said: “It’s just something I’ve given zero thought to.

Dornan continued: “I’ll sometimes have my mates text me saying they’ve put a bet on me and telling me what my odds are and I think it’s kind of hilarious.”

Nevertheless, the actor wants to try something different; exploring the genres.

He added: “My favourite thing about being an actor is the diversity of it. From a very early age, I knew that I don’t want to sit behind a desk of any description.

“I feel like if you do the same role, again and again, that would be the closest thing to doing a desk job.”

Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Dinklage revealed: “I read some of the screenplay, though, in our dressing room.

“I went in, he had to do some reshoots for Fifty Shades and I would help him out learning lines.

“I would read the Dakota Johnson parts. I was just helping a friend learn lines. I nailed it. I really did.”

It turns out Dornan joined Dinklage at the Game of Thrones final season wrap party in Belfast earlier this year too.
