Ben Mendelsohn is honestly one of the best actors in Hollywood. He’s been in so many projects and continues to be a delight in every movie and television show he is. Whether he’s playing a drunkard, a villain, or a good guy, Mendelsohn is just awesome. Any time I see him in a project, I’m like “hell yeah”.
In a recent interview, Mendelsohn spoke about his recent film Babyteeth. You can read the whole interview here. In this interview, he talked about a well-known character in film: James Bond. You would think (and you’d be right) that he’d play a fantastic Bond villain. Mendelsohn, however; stated he’d love to BE Bond:
“I was just the other day singing Thunderball,” he says. “James Bond was without a doubt the coolest man alive and he didn’t even fucking live. I didn’t even realize that he was a stupid fucking male fantasy. He was the best one, lock, stock and barrel. Roger Moore is the Bond that I grew up with, but then I was incredibly moved by His Majesty’s Secret Service which starred George Lazenby. And you can’t get past Sean Connery. Yeah, absolutely. No doubt. There’d be no doubt that I would definitely play James Bond.”
Could you see Mendelsohn as James Bond?
