Dizzee Rascal wants to be Bond

Dizzee Rascal wants to play James Bond.

The rapper recently came top in a poll which asked who should be the first black James Bond and Dizzee believes he would be great as 007.

He said: “I beat Will Smith and Jay Z. The people voted for me so I’m up for it.”

The 24-year-old star believes he can bring a lot more “swag” and “swearing” to the iconic role.

He added: “There would be a lot more swag and there would be probably be a lot more swearing and a lot more f***ing. Apart from that, I’d leave everything else the same. I might have to drive a Bugatti too. Bond has good cars.”

Dizzee might have to wait to fulfil his spy dream as the next Bond film has been put on hold indefinitely.

The 23rd movie in the series – starring Daniel Craig – was postponed because of studio MGM’s financial difficulties.
