The Aussie hunk, who shot to fame after his role in box office smash ‘Avatar’, has been named as the most likely star to replace Daniel Craig as the British spy.
And along with the flash motor, cool gadgets and expensive suits, he’d also get a hot new Bond girl.
Potential love interests are rumoured to include the stunning Freida Pinto, who starred in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, and Britain’s all singing, all dancing ‘X-Factor’ judge Cheryl Cole.
The only other Aussie to ever play the heroic character, taken on by Roger Moore and Sean Connery, was George Lazenby in the 1969 film ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.’
Let’s hope he’s working on that English accent…
And if the former brickie does bag himself the iconic role, he could have a rather busy work schedule coming up.
The actor has also been mentioned as the man most likely to take on the part of Dracula in the Hollywood incarnation of the blood-sucking villain.
