Toby Kebbell: I’m more a James Bond baddie than the man to play 007

Toby Kebbell says he would be “privileged” to play James Bond — but thinks he is more suited to a villainous role.

The British star, 34, is just one of the actors tipped as a possible replacement for Daniel Craig when he steps down from the franchise.

Kebbell told the Standard: “I don’t think anyone wants to see me as Bond, they don’t want crooked-teeth Bond, you know what I mean?

“I would of course be privileged but I’m more likely to get the Bond villain.”

The actor has starred in many big-screen blockbusters, including Fantastic Four, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and the new Kong: Skull Island, but is branching out into comedy. “I’d like to try everything,” he said.

Kebbell said there was “less pressure” working on a blockbuster than on smaller, independent projects and said Kong: Skull Island was the “B movie that we all wanted... with great actors and loads of effects”.

Kong: Skull Island is in cinemas now.
