Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has revealed that he wants to play the villain in a James Bond movie.

The former wrestler said he would love to star in the franchise despite vowing to move away from his previous tough-guy roles.

He is quoted as saying: "I would love to be a Bond baddie. I am a big fan of the films."

The 35-year-old will star in Fox's The Tooth Fairy and voice a character in new animated film Planet 51.

He previously starred in The Scorpion King, Welcome to the Jungle and Southland Tales.
