Jose Mourinho Tipped As The Next James Bond


AS Roma coach, Jose Mourinho has been tipped to play a James Bond villain by Sam Mendes, the director of Skyfall and Spectre.

 

Mourinho is not one to shy from conflict, being involved in some of the most famous touchline bust-ups in football. 


When asked about who would make a great Bond villain by a Guardian reader for a feature in their newspaper, iconic British director,  Mendes said; 

 

 “I have no idea. They’ve made it so difficult for themselves for two reasons. One is they turned the franchise into something extraordinary with Daniel Craig. If you think about the actors that might have been up for the role after Pierce Brosnan, a lot of people would have said, ‘No way.’

“They would not have even been considered for the role, not wanted to be considered for the role. Now, there’s barely an actor in the world who would turn it down. And that’s because of Daniel and because what’s happened to the franchise since. So that’s a great thing.

“The bad thing is he’s dead. You tell me how they get out of that one. I want to ask, ‘How would you get out of it?’ As for a great Bond villain? José Mourinho. You can’t get better than that can you?”

 

Among those who have played James Bond villains are Rami Malek and Donald Pleasence.
