'Only Way Is Essex' Mark Wright: 'I'd make a good James Bond'

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright has insisted that he would make a good James Bond.

The I'm a Celebrity runner-up said he has come round to the idea of playing 007, having rejected initial suggestions that he should take over from Daniel Craig.



"It's any man's dream, being Bond," he told Hello. "Someone made a joke in a paper about me playing him and I thought, 'Why not? I'll do it, I'll be the next James Bond'.

"That's the kind of guy I am. I believe you have to dream big and aim for the stars. A bit of it might be tongue-in-cheek, but do I think I'd make a good Bond? Yeah, I do."



Wright was recently reported to have landed a role in a British gangster flick alongside Kelly Brook and Danny Dyer.

He apparently also wants to ditch his Essex accent in order to crack Hollywood.
