Jude Bellingham, the 23-year-old England star, has revealed his aspiration to become the next James Bond following his football career. Speaking during an interview on Fox's World Cup After Hours, Bellingham shared his passion for film and the iconic role that tops his wishlist.
Bellingham's current focus remains on helping England succeed in the World Cup, which takes place this summer in America. He is set to play a crucial role as England aims to end a 60-year wait for a World Cup victory.
Jude Bellingham's Aspirations Beyond Football
During the interview, Bellingham stated, "I’d love to be in a movie... I’d love to be James Bond." He expressed that acting has always intrigued him and mentioned his admiration for the entire James Bond franchise, having watched every film from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.
With Daniel Craig having retired from the role after No Time to Die in 2021, Bellingham has his sights set on potentially stepping into the iconic character's shoes. He humorously added, "I think I’ve got a shot!"
England's World Cup Journey
As England prepares to face DR Congo in the round of 32 in Atlanta, Bellingham's performance will be pivotal. A victory could lead them to a Round of 16 game in Mexico City, potentially against co-hosts Mexico.
Should England triumph in the tournament on July 19, Bellingham's off-field opportunities could expand significantly, possibly including a chance to portray James Bond.
