Los Angeles:
Actor Daniel Craig said that he is fine if rapper Kanye West plays the role of the fictional spy the James Bond franchise after him.
The Skyfall actor, who has already hinted that a woman or a black actor may be playing the role of the James Bond character in the next movie, said that if it is Kanye West then he should be brought on board now, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Is Kanye the new one? Yeah, get him in now," GQ Australia magazine quoted him as saying.

"When I first started these movies I didn't know any better - I was naive and didn't worry about a great deal, I just got on with it. As they went on, the pressure built. People thought Casino Royale would bomb, it was a massive success and they were like, 'What are you going to do now?' Then Quantum of Solace, OK, it was difficult and a huge amount of pressure, but then with Skyfall, again it was, 'What are you going to do now?' Well, we got Sam Mendes on board and it suddenly became a bit easier," he added.
