| Original 007 Sean Connery wants to be a James Bond Villain
The Daily Mail reports that Sean Connery, who played James Bond in seven of the Bond movies, has a sudden taste for a comeback - as a villain.
Discussions are said to have taken place between the 77-year-old actor and Bond producers since Daniel Craig reinvigorated the 007 role two years ago with Casino Royale.
"I wouldn't mind coming back as a Bond villain," he said. "But I don't think they would pay me enough money."
He has been so impressed by Daniel Craig's debut that he wants to be pitched against him. "I think Daniel Craig is a terrific choice," said Connery. "I think they're going back to a more realistic type of Bond movie as I don't think they could have gone much further with the special effects."
"They don't pay the money for the other parts, only for the Bond character, although that wasn't the case when I was doing it." Connery earned just £50,000 to play James Bond for the first time. |
