Kanye West should play James Bond: Daniel Craig

The SPECTRE star has already tipped a woman or a black actor to take on the role of the suave super spy, and after hearing West's name put in the frame he claims the rapper would be just as good a choice as anybody to take the wheel of the franchise once he parks up his Aston Martin for the final time. He quipped: ''Is Kanye the new one? F**k it, yeah, get him in now.''

However, Craig is growing a little tired of the endless speculation about his successor especially as he's yet to call time on his 007 tenure.

He added to GQ Australia magazine: ''You know Roger Moore's also 200-1? So too David Beckham. Whatever. On the list of my priorities this is not even near the bottom.''

Perhaps his irritability when talking about his successor stems from the pressure he is under for upcoming film SPECTRE - his fourth outing in the role - to be a success. He said: ''When I first started these movies I didn't know any better - I was naive and didn't worry about a great deal, I just got on with it.
