Is Chris Hemsworth the new Bond?

There’s been so many stars linked to the upcoming Bond film and now our very own Chris Hemsworth has been named as a potential candidate.

Addressing the speculation in the August issue of Foxtel magazine, Chris said he’d gladly accept the role.

“I don’t know many who wouldn’t jump at that,” the father-of-three told the publication.

“Would it be scary and daunting [to play Bond]? Of course. But what isn’t?”

Meanwhile Idris Elba, another hot contender to take on the role, officially shut down claims he’ll be playing Bond.

“I mean, look, I’ve said it a million of times: It’s a great character and it’s an honour to be asked, but it is just a rumour,” he told E! News this week.

If Chris does indeed end up playing Bond, he’ll be the second Aussie to tackle the hearty role following in the footsteps of George Lazenby, who played James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
