Diddy wants to be Bond
09/11/2006 09:27 - (SA)
Copenhagen - He changed his stage
name from Puff Daddy to P Diddy and now Diddy, but what he
would really like to be called is Bond ... James Bond.
"One day the time will come for a black Bond and hopefully I
can audition for it," US rapper and entrepreneur Sean "Diddy"
Combs said on the sidelines of the MTV Europe Music Awards late
on Thursday.
"It's a dream of mine to play a great role like that."
The current holder of that position is actor Daniel Craig,
who plays the secret agent in the eagerly-awaited Casino
Royale, which comes out later this month.
Craig also attended the Copenhagen show to present an award.
"I love the Bond they have now," said Diddy. "He's a great
actor and I think they made a great choice."
Diddy's acting resume consists mainly of a role as a
death-row inmate in the racially charged drama Monster's Ball in 2002.
As Bond, Diddy, who performed at the MTV awards, said he
would apply his mantra of always making sure his audience is
entertained.
"That's what we get paid to do," he said, sporting a sharp
grey suit and oversized sunglasses. "If I'm going to step on the
stage, I'm going to entertain you. Hopefully the people felt
entertained tonight."
