English actor Tom Hiddleston, who currently plays the lead role in 'The Night Manager', a $30m six-part adaptation of John le Carr�s spy thriller for the BBC, was quizzed by the Sunday Times on any ambitions to take over the role of 007 when Daniel Craig steps down. Turns out he is a 'hug fan' of the series.
"I simply love the theme tune, the tropes and the mythology. I love the whole thing," said the 35 year-old, adding that he went to watch 'SPECTRE' while shooting 'Skull Island' in Hawaii.
"If it ever came knocking, it would be an extraordinary opportunity. And I�m very aware of the physicality of the job. I would not take it lightly."
Bookies across the UK have slashed the odds on Hiddleston given the very Bond-ish elements to 'The Night Manager'. "The producers of the next 007 movie will surely be keeping an eye on Hiddleston�s performance in case Daniel Craig decides to step down,� said a representative from William Hill.
