[glow=red,2,300]James Bond #6 role, decision SOON... [/glow]
Star of TV's Nip/Tuck, Julian McMahon, yesterday revealed he is on a shortlist of two to become the next James Bond 007 - reports the Mirror (UK).
The 36-year-old Australian, who plays serial womaniser Dr Christian Troy in the show, said: "I'm a big James Bond fan.
"I met the producers for a final audition. They told me to expect a decision in a couple of months and they said it was between me and one other person.
"It's going to be a very nervous wait."
The other person in the frame is believed to be British actor Clive Owen.
McMahon, who used to be married to Dannii Minogue, was first linked to the role last year.
If he gets it, he will be the second Australian to take the role of 007, who has also been played by English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish actors.
Clive Owen and Daniel Craig are final two contenders for James Bond role claims British press
British actors Clive Owen and Daniel Craig are locked in a head-to-head battle to win a licence to make a killing – as the new James Bond - reports The Sun (UK).
Clive Owen became favourite for the role after winning a Golden Globe and BAFTA for best supporting actor in his latest film "Closer". He may scoop a hat trick if he converts his Oscar nomination into a win on Sunday.
Daniel Craig was rumoured as a potential 007 after his stunning performance in "Layer Cake" - directed by Matthew Vaughn, who admitted to turning down the director's job on Bond 21 after the film was delayed a year.
Above: The Sun says Owen and Craig are head-to-head in a battle for the role.
The paper goes on, "A host of stars including Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor had been touted as the next 007. But now film executives have narrowed the search for the suave secret agent’s latest incarnation to the handsome Brits."
