«Breaking News» Les Mis star David Oyewolo wants to be first black James Bond

Les Miserables actor David Oyewolo said he wants to be the first black James Bond to give a generation of black youngsters 'a superhero to identify with'.

The British actor made theatre history by becoming the first black actor to play an English king in Henry VI by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Oyewolo said: 'The significance of someone like me playing a role like James Bond is not lost on me. It is going to be something that will expand horizons.

'One of the most beautiful things I have seen in America on Halloween is white kids running around in Black Panther costumes. 

'I did not have a superhero to identify with growing up on a council estate in Islington. It was all Superman. That these things are very important is not lost on me.'

Oyewolo, 42, has shared a dressing room with the current James Bond, Daniel Craig, and they were in Othello together in an off-Broadway production. 

He said he would talk to the James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.

Oyewolo said: 'When I was at drama school [Lamda, where he was the only black student in his year], the idea of a black James Bond was so far removed from everyone's thinking.

'We are talking about real progress. Society is beginning to tell the industries what they want to see.'

Idris Elba and Richard Madden have been tipped as potential successors to become the next 007, The Sunday Times reports.

Oyewolo said he has received a lot of messages since taking part in the BBC adaptation of Les Miserables, which he said has changed people's perception about people of colour in European history.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
