P Diddy wants to be the next Bond

[bloodyjack]

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has declared that he wants to play James Bond in the next 007 flick.

After small roles in "Monster's Ball," "Made" and a lead role in the Tony Award winning "A Raisin In the Sun," Diddy has announced his desire to become the next James Bond.

"The world is ready for a black James Bond," Combs revealed.

Diddy also said he would want actress Angelina Jolie to play his Bond girl. Reports have already surfaced that Jolie wants to play a villain in the franchise's next installment.

"We would make a hot, sexy couple," Diddy offered.

1. well not in this country..

we had bring the slavery back!~

[pinniped]

2. Tell him to wait in line...

Cuba Gooding Jr. was in line first.

[Ekova]

3. Regardless of colour,

I'm not so sure the world is ready for P. Diddy as James Bond. If it's all about being black, I nominate Dave Chapelle

[bloodyjack]

4. I don't think the problem is the actor's race so much as his nationality

I thought Bond is supposed to be a BRITISH spy.

British.

[Ekova]

10. I agree.

Mr. Diddy made the comment with regards to race - nevertheless, I'm sure Bond purists are collectively shuddering at the thought. Not because of race, but because of P's depth of acting talent.

[maveric]

32. Nah, Denzel would be a great Bond.

He can use a british accent and all that.

[tjwash]

5. P.Diddy? Is that what that no talent hack is calling himself nowadays?

How about George Eads as Bond. That would look just as dumb...

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. God, I hope not

Talentless idiot. Him as Bond? Please. I'd rather have Cyndi Lauper.

[FellowAmerican]

20. Hehehehe

that's funny! :-)

[terrya]

7. P.Diddy and Dame Judi Dench in the same movie...

Now, that's the film moment I've been waiting for.

Presumably, Dame Judi will still be "M" in the Bond films.

[guntherconcept]

8. "The name is Bond. Daddy Puff Diddy P Bond"

At least he already knows how to use a gun.

[pdx_prog]

9. My vote is on Wallace Shawn

[jobycom]

11. Hey, if he can fake an accent, let him audition.

They're looking at Irish and Australian actors, why the heck not an American?

[Nag Champa]

12. If Jack Black isn't the next Bond, it's rigged. n/t.

[HEyHEY]

13. Sorry -no

Bond doesn't need to be fouled up by some asshole calling himself "P-diddy" acting slick and overlyp-playing the role.

If you want a black bond get someone with some class, like WIll Smith

[Leekolas]

14. Will?

Will Smith might be good. But I'd still like Bond to be British.

[Nag Champa]

15. I think you can be black and British...

Is that Holyfield fellow a Brit?

[Deja Q]

19. Two black Brits who'd play Bond well!

Roger Griffiths (Chef!)
Paterson Joseph (Neverwhere)

Both are versatile and good in the acting profession.

[St. Jarvitude]

22. I think the actors should be British

After all, would you hire a German man to play the part of a Japanese person in a movie? It's pretty hard to convincingly pull off any of the British accents without the Brits thinking you sound ridiculous (think of some bad American voice impressions by British, and you'll see what I mean). You at least need to be a professional actor, which "P Diddy" is not.

Connery is Scottish.
Lazenby: Australian (though he moved to England in his 20's)
Moore: English
Dalton: Welsh
Brosnan: Irish

Hmm, all you need is a Canadian Bond and an Indian Bond and you've completed the go-around of the British empire :)

[Nag Champa]

30. Agreed about P Diddy.

Even if he was a Brit, he would be a terrible choice.


Ozzy, on the other hand, might draw in a whole new crowd.

[joeybee12]

16. The world is ready for a black Bond, but NOT a TALENTLESS one!

God, what chutzpah will get you these days--everywhere! The guy is such a hack, yet has his finger in everything (probably even in Michael Jackson, too)!

[Kat45]

17. Well, he would LOOK good!

I've never seen him act, and he's probably no actor, but I think he's hot.

[bloodyjack]

18. but he has a stupid face!

[redstaterebel]

21. Ugh.

No thank you.

[DrWeird]

23. Don Cheadle would make an excellent Bond.

IMHO.

[TroubleMan]

24. What's next....Snoop Dogg wanting to play Huggy Bear!?!...oh wait....

nevermind

[Zuni]

25. His color doesn't matter----He is a moron

I have seen enough of P. Diddy, period.

[Dukakis88]

26. They're going to call the film "Vote and Let Die."

[UpsideDownFlag]

27. ...i thought they had to have a british accent....

and be, ah, caucasian?

[UpsideDownFlag]

28. "vote and let die" nt

[TroubleMan]

29. Another movie title: DR. NO- DIGGITY

I know "No Diggity" is a Blackstreet song, but it fits.

[Borgnine]

31. Oh goodness.

I really wasn't ready for Brosnan to give up the part. I felt he was the most likable Bond since Connery.

Like everybody else has said above, I don't think Bond should be played by an American, let alone P. Diddy. I'd be all for a black Bond, but this is ridiculous.

[hiphopnation]

33. why the f*ck not?

after shithead won again anything's possible.
