Diddy the first black James Bond ?

Diddy is so sure he will be picked as the first black JAMES BOND - he has splashed out $750,000 (£500,000) on making his 007 audition tape.

The hip hop mogul has previously spoken of his desire to play an African-American incarnation of the suave superspy, and has set plans in motion to ensure he lands the coveted role.

Combs travelled to the luxurious South of France to film the promo near the Casino Royale ; the inspiration behind current blonde Bond Daniel Craig’s debut film in the long-running franchise.

The rapper took to the skies in a helicopter, wearing a tuxedo and surrounded by his very own Bond girls.

And the star is adamant that after Craig has surrendered his license to kill, he will be in line for the part - because of U.S. president-elect Barack Obama’s historical victory at the American election earlier this month (Nov08).

He tells Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, "This is my audition tape for the next James Bond. There is a black president and it’s time for there to be a black Bond."

But he’s facing some stiff competition - R&B hitmaker Akon and Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx are also reportedly keen to play the legendary secret agent.

I should be the first black James Bond because,though a Canadian lad rather than a U.K. one,I’m considered classi- cally handsome at 56(and said to look 15-20 years younger than my age),muscu- lar and beefy-I’m 5-9,218 lb.-and speak with a working-class braying tenor voice,NOT an "urban"(read ;black)vocal inflection.

I have nothing against it. I think that Bond, according to fleming is a brit marine officer. Not that there is a colour problem cause it could still work as long as that person can adapt the role properly, but i believe its been done for so long, to change it now when we have the best bond ever would be really tricky. Like, the green lantern for example. To me cant be played by anybody else than a black guy. Not by a chinese, african, or japanese. MR.T, Shaft, BLADE same thing. When they started that new blade tv series, why did they not take some chinese or white canadian guy to do it. Nothing against the actual person but i believe most roles come with a idea of what they should look like and if it works you stick with it. Hey, unless Didddy decided to play 008 or some thing than go for it. But also, diddy got to the top of the music world, Bond is at thhe top of the movie world, its fine to try and do other things but start smaller. Can he even act ???? Iam not moking i just dont know !!
