- I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo DiCaprio. No doubt about it.’
British actress, Emilia Clarke has admitted she wants to be the first female James Bond.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: ‘I have a lot of unrealised dreams. I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo DiCaprio. No doubt about it.’
Emilia stars as Daenerys Targaryen in popular HBO series – ‘Game of Thrones’
Daniel Craig is set to step down from his role as the polished super spy after he recently reportedly rejected a £68 million offer, which is thought to be made up of profit shares, endorsements and a role as co-producer from MGM studio for two more movies.
The actor – who starred as 007 in ‘Casino Royale’, ‘Quantum of Solace’, ‘Skyfall’ and 2015’s ‘Spectre’ – threw his Bond future in doubt when he signed up for 20-episode US TV series ‘Purity’.
Emilia Clarke isn’t the first actress to express an interest in the role however as according to Radio Times, American-born actress Gillian Anderson has been widely speculated to be in talks to become the series’ first female Bond.
Despite both Clarke and Anderson having expressed interest in taking on the role, the show’s producers are believed to be in talks with ‘The Night Manager’ star Tom Hiddleston who has in the past expressed interest in playing James Bond.
