Robbie Williams rules out a future as James Bond #6
English pop star Robbie Williams has ruled out a potential acting career, despite enjoying his cameo role in the latest blockbuster "De-Lovely" and a stint as a voice-over actor for the character of Dougal in the forthcoming "Magic Roundabout" remake.
However, Williams labels a career in acting "ridiculous" and has downplayed his role in the Hollywood film, saying, "Blink and you'll miss me.
"I have no interest in acting. I think it's a ridiculous job. I just get so self-conscious. I turn completely robotic."
Despite homages to James Bond in his music videos, especially "Millennium" which sampled "You Only Live Twice", Williams is amused by the British media's campaign to alert film-makers that he would be the ideal successor to Pierce Brosnan as 007.
Williams smirks, "Me from Stoke(-On-Trent, northern England), doing James Bond? I just don't see it happening.
"Me going, 'Eh up Miss Moneypenny, how ya goin' chuck?' I don't think so."
