No Time To Die: Daniel Craig Has Funny Pick for Next James Bond Actor

[Animous]

In an interview with Sky Sports, outgoing James Bond star Daniel Craig has named a very funny and highly unexpected replacement for the role of 007. No Time to Die has been well worth the wait for fans after over a year of being delayed, with the film taking in record sums at the UK box office. With the film's release, Craig has been back on the interview circuit and the question on everybody's mind is: Who will be the next actor to step into the tuxedo?

The latest outing sees Bond facing off against the mysterious villain Safin (Rami Malek). Craig took on the part of Bond back in 2006, following Pierce Brosnan's tenure as the agent. After the dismal reception of Brosnan's final outing, Die Another Day, Craig was tasked with reimagining the character for a new generation, which he did successfully with the release of the critically acclaimed Casino Royale. But now, with Craig's swan song as the character hitting theaters, rumors have begun to arise about who will be next in the role, and Craig thinks he might have the answer.

When speaking with Sky Sports (via B/R Football/Twitter) Craig was asked whether he thought Liverpool Football Club manager Jurgen Klopp would make a good James Bond. Craig is a lifelong Liverpool fan, and Jurgen Klopp has won multiple titles with the club, so it's safe to say that the actor is a great admirer of the coach. Craig jokingly said that he worships Klopp and thinks that his leadership skills would make him a great fit for Bond. See his full response below:

Klopp's is just the latest name to be thrown into the ring, with actors including Idris Elba, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Hardy all being linked to the role. There has been no official word from Bond producers about who might be leading the franchise in the future, with the suggestion being that an announcement won't come until at least 2022, though it is unlikely that they will take Craig's suggestion seriously.

Bond is among the most coveted roles in all of film, and the decision about who will take on the role next will not be made lightly. Craig is undoubtedly biased surrounding his opinion on Klopp's ability to take on James Bond, but the German coach is incredibly charismatic and could have major presence on screen. Perhaps Craig will be able to find him a part in a future Knives Out sequel.
