Only a handful of actors have had the honor of playing James Bond. And current holder of the title,
Daniel Craig, wanted Obama to play the first Black James Bond.
Craig said, "Obama would be the better Bond, because, if he’s true to his word, he’d be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them."
Unfortunately,
Barack Obama has his hands full and won't be able to take on the role, so we gathered up some potential actors for your consideration.
There were reports that Oscar winner
Jamie Foxx was eyeing the role, while Rap mogul
P. Diddy has been making his own
audition tape. Diddy reportedly spent a whopping $750,000 on the production, now that’s dedication! "There is a black president and it's time for there to be a black Bond," he explained.
