Jamie Foxx wants to be the first African American actor to play James Bond.

After the election of Barack Obama, Daniel Craig, star of Quantum Solace, suggested that maybe the next Bond should be black. Jamie Foxx was quick to respond saying he would love to land that role.

He told Access Hollywood,

“Of course! I’d put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know. Maybe not drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. Bond would drink dark liquor.

“I was in London and I had to give an award to Daniel Craig and I went up and said, Bond. Black Bond. And everybody just lost it. Black Bond would be cool.”
