AceShowbiz - Charlie Hunnam is one of the actors who are speculated to replace Daniel Craig in future James Bond movies should Craig not return. The "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" actor, however, has given a hilarious response to his Bond casting rumors.
In Thursday, May 11 episode of "CONAN", Conan O'Brien asked Hunnam about the possibility of him playing the 007 agent. Hunnam went silent for a while and later replied in a serious tone. "I can say two things. I'm English and I look devilishly handsome in a suit," he said, bringing laughter to the studio. He later added, "I can say three things...and nobody has called me about playing James Bond, so I'm pretty sure that’s not going to happen."
O'Brien played along by saying, "They're calling me non-stop. They wanna go a different way with Bond, apparently." Hunnam replied, "If you decide not to do it, you can just throw your ole' pal Charlie's name in the hat."
The British spy was portrayed by Craig in "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall" and "Spectre". However, it's still unknown whether he will return in future Bond flicks. Hunnam is one of the actors whom fans want to see playing the iconic character, along with Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Jamie Bell, Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Aidan Turner.
Like Hunnam, Hiddleston debunked his Bond casting rumor by saying, "Obviously it's very flattering that people think I'm part of the conversation. It's difficult, because people say, 'How would you feel if you were asked?' And you don't know because you haven't been asked."
