Oscar winner Denzel Washington was recently asked if he would be interested in being the next James Bond. Find out his response and read more on the story below!
Denzel participated in Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” chat to promote his new movie “The Equalizer.” A user asked him if he would be interested in playing James Bond. Denzel followed up with a response stating, “The next James Bond?…Yes I would! Who’s doing James Bond now – Daniel Craig!…everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond!…we start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!”
Fans started the hashtag #DenzelIsJamesBond” on Twitter. It may be unlikely that Denzel will play James Bond anytime soon since Craig has signed on for two more Bond films.

Denzel’s new movie, “The Equalizer” will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and will hit theaters nationwide on Sept. 26.
