Lucien Laviscount would give the role of James Bond a "good shot".
The 'Emily in Paris' star is among the names who have been rumoured to be replacing Daniel Craig as the next 007, and he says it would be a "special" gig should the part of the suave spy ever come his way.
He told Best UK magazine: "I think Bond for anyone would be special, wouldn't it?
"But whatever else presents itself, I'll take it with open arms."
Asked if he thinks he would make a good Bond, he replied: "What do you think? (laughs).
"It would be cool, and if the stars aligned, and it's meant to be this time round, I'm sure I'd give it a good old shot."
James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently made the shock decision to step back from the iconic film series.
They've formed a new joint venture with Amazon MGM to house James Bond's intellectual property rights, while remaining co-owners of the franchise.
Craig, who bowed out of playing 007 after being killed off in 2021 blockbuster 'No Time To Die', said of the news in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “My respect, admiration and love for Barbara and Michael remain constant and undiminished.
“I wish Michael a long, relaxing (and well-deserved) retirement and whatever ventures Barbara goes on to do, I know they will be spectacular and I hope I can be part of them.”
