Jimmy Bond
Patrick Dempsey has ruled out the possibility of playing James Bond.
"Oh, I don't think you could be an American and be James Bond. How would you do it?” he pondered.
"I think it will be interesting to see who becomes the next James Bond. He's such an iconic figure. It has to be an Englishman, Scottish or Irish".
American.
60.
It’s fair to say it's a slim to zero chance.
