Jamie Dornan has opened up on the possibility of being the next James Bond.
The Holywood man has been rumoured over the past while to be in the running for the role.
Speaking to Esquire, the 39-year-old said: “It's fun and it's a cool thing to be in the mix for that sort of thing.

"I do think it's very transparent in terms of if you look at that list, there's not one person on that list who doesn't have some content at the moment that's doing well.”
People have even been betting on Dornan becoming the next Bond.
Jamie added: “Those lists have had family members, family friends, mates of mine.... lot of strangers, lots of different people over the years say, ‘Oh, I put a bet on you 40 to one.’
"I think there had been a short recently as eight to one or whatever, like people putting an actual bet on. It's just so silly really.”
And when discussing family life in the new interview, the actor explained how he is able to spend precious time with his family as they go with him from set to set. Although he says travelling with three young daughters can be hard.
He told Esquire: "I just don't ever want to look back and go, ‘Jesus, I missed loads of their youth because I was doing movies or making some TV show that people were into for three weeks.
"That just would be a sad reflection."
The father-of-three also spoke about his hilarious musical performance in the comedy 'Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar'.
Dornan said: "My wife came down to set on the beach when we were doing ‘Edgar’s Prayer.
"I'm on a jet ski, but the jet ski is on land, so it's beached, and I'm like lip syncing to that absurd song. I'm thinking it's so ridiculous. I got off the jet ski and my wife was just like, ‘Do they realize that, that's just you being yourself?’
"And I was like, ‘I think they're starting to realise.'"
