Nickname-loving rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is throwing his hat in the ring to succeed actor Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
The
hip-hop mogul is well-known for his luck with the ladies and penchant
for dapper suits and recently filmed a Bond-themed commercial for his fragrance I Am King that reads like an audition tape for the Quantum of Solace follow-up.
According to British publication, the Daily Mirror, Diddy said, "There is a black president and it's time for there to be a black Bond." With Beyoncé Knowles focusing her attention on nabbing the role of Wonder Woman, casting for action movies might just start plucking stars from the Billboard charts.

Sure there could be a black James Bond...it just can't be Puffy!
I can't stand him and, more importantly, he can't act.

Sean Combs as 007? GROSS. I could think of hundreds of black actors who would be way, way better than this cheeseball will ever be.
therealdana says:
Right. Makes about as much sense as Will Farrell playing Shaft, and Alyssa Milano playing Foxy Brown.

Puffy is a poser. The last poser Bond, Roger Moore, would still kick Puffy to the ground. What James Bond ever had dualing diamond earrings? Just riding a jet ski in a tux does not qualify him for Bond, but it does qualify him for poser of the year.

Oh hell to the noes!
No, no, no, no, NOOOO. Not this man. Just no.
Did I mention no?
Kelly says:
shouldn't that role go to an actor? ya know, someone who can act?
in his dreams. the 007 role would never be cheapened to that extent. black actor, fine. but didiot? he wishes.
suzanne says:
Ugh, Coombs, you're such a wanker. Who does he think he is?
Spin sycle says:
Not to be nit-picky but aren't the Bond actors supposed to be British? Is he switching citizenship for it?
anna says:
I think it's hilarious that both Beyonce and Diddy think they can act. It's absolutely painful to see her in any movies, and I can only imagine how equally horrible Diddy is at acting.
Beyonce, stick to singing, you're never going to win an Oscar (unless it's for songwriting or a song that you sung in a movie). Diddy..stick to being an egotistical manager, and keep the acting to people who have the talent.
Zelda F. says:
Wow, what an out of control ego. Not to mention the fact that James Bond is suave and sophisticated. Diddy or Daddy or whatever-the-hell his name today is, is as appropiately described above "wanker/cheeseball". This slimeball needs to learn money doesn't buy class and go back to his legions of classy "chicken head girls". Puffy as James Bond? No freaking way!
nuckingfats says:
Beyonce and Didiot should stick to singing - even at that, these two are mediocre singers.
If Barbara Broccolli chooses a black actor for the Bond role, I think it should be David Oyelowo or Chuk Iwuji (both British black actors). Both have played King Henry VI (Shakespear) in London. Adrian Lester, also an English black actor, played Hamlet at the Swan Theatre in Stratford, England.
SIMON says:
I think he should be codenamed:
K-9....the horse-toothed JACKASS!
PS - There is no extra biggie smalls money you can squeeze from this, so why do it?
