"Sorry for the Jude awakening"
Real Madrid and England footballer Jude Bellingham wants to follow in Vinnie Jones's footsteps into films.
"I'd love to be in a movie", he said.
"People always ask me, 'What's the thing I'd want to do out of football?' I never really give it that much thought, but when I have, I always come to 'I'd love to be in a film'.
"I'd love to be James Bond. I've watched all of them. I've watched the Connery ones, Roger Moore, I've seen all of them. I love James Bond.
"I swear, I'd love to be in the back of a James Bond film. Maybe James Bond himself, but you've got to crawl before you can walk. They haven't found a new Bond yet, have they? I think I've got a shot".
Maybe Bond number 8, after number 7, whoever that may be...
