Robert Irwin jokingly said that he would be happy to take on the James Bond role but with one catch — a wildlife-inspired twist.
The son of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, recently shared his thoughts on potentially playing the famous spy as the hunt for the next actor to play 007’s role is still going on.
While Jacob Elordi is recently rumored to be a contender for the role, Robert said he would step in if needed.
”If Jacob pulls out, I’m there. I don’t know if my first role can be James Bond, but I wouldn’t say no,” he told The Watchlist.
”A khaki tux? Obviously!” the 22-year-old TV personality said as a reference to his duty as a conservationist.
”And the villain would be habitat destruction,” Robert added.
Although the Dancing With The Stars pro has not made his acting debut yet, he has been busy working at his family’s Australia Zoo and filming projects, including Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro.
Robert admitted that he does not like to slow down and always keeps him busy with new projects.
”I can’t stand being still; it makes me physically ill. That’s not even an analogy. I actually get physically nauseous if I’m inside.
”I have to just always be going. If I don’t, I don’t sleep. I feel like I’m going to just pass out.”
It is pertinent to mention that after Daniel Craig said goodbye to his infamous role, Amazon MGM confirmed that the search for the next James Bond is underway.
They said in a statement, “The search for the next James Bond is underway.
”While we don’t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we’re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right.”
