Stephen Hawking wants to be the next 007 “bad guy”

He expressed his view during an interview for Wired magazine

Newsroom December 2 08:03

The desire to be the “bad guy” in a forthcoming James Bond movie was expressed by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking to Wired magazine.

As he explained, his computerized voice and the fact that he controls things through a simple move of his face would be ideal for a 007 film.

“The ideal role would be that of the bad guy. I believe that the wheelchair and the voice through the computer would be ideal”, he said.

If the idea is implemented, it will not be the first time when Hawking appears on TV or the silver screen, since he was immortalized by the Simpsons, while he also “played poker” in Star Trek against Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
