Firth eyes up Bond role
19/11/2004 - 15:32:50Colin Firth is done being Bridget Jones’ nice guy, but he’s not against donning agent 007’s dinner jacket.
“At the moment, I can’t think of anything I would be less attracted to,” says Firth about the possibility of a third Bridget Jones film.
However, the 44-year-old actor said he’d seriously consider taking over the James Bond franchise from Pierce Brosnan.
Unlike another famous Colin – Colin Farrell, who says he’s not interested in the role despite being Brosnan’s choice – there’s been no talk of Firth grabbing Bond’s Walther PPK gun.
“No-one has approached me, but I would not be averse to it,” Firth said. “I’m attracted to dark stuff,” he said, “and I’m in that mode right now.”
