Lucien Laviscount would give the role of James Bond a "good shot".
The 'Emily in Paris' star is among the names who have been rumoured to be replacing Daniel Craig as the next 007, and he says it would be a "special" gig should the part of the suave spy ever come his way.
He told Best UK magazine: "I think Bond for anyone would be special, wouldn't it?
"But whatever else presents itself, I'll take it with open arms."
Asked if he thinks he would make a good Bond, he replied: "What do you think? (laughs).
"It would be cool, and if the stars aligned, and it's meant to be this time round, I'm sure I'd give it a good old shot."
James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently made the shock decision to step back from the iconic film series.
They've formed a new joint venture with Amazon MGM to house James Bond's intellectual property rights, while remaining co-owners of the franchise.
Craig, who bowed out of playing 007 after being killed off in 2021 blockbuster 'No Time To Die', said of the news in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “My respect, admiration and love for Barbara and Michael remain constant and undiminished.
“I wish Michael a long, relaxing (and well-deserved) retirement and whatever ventures Barbara goes on to do, I know they will be spectacular and I hope I can be part of them.”
Former 007 Timothy Dalton - who played the role in 'The Living Daylights' and 'Licence to Kill' - hopes the studio doesn't try to change the franchise.
He told RadioTimes.com: "It's a wonderful franchise. The movies have taken different courses over the years, but there is something very good about the original and I hope Amazon latch onto that and give us the kind of film that's brought so much excitement and fun to so many people.
"Can you remember the first time you saw a Bond movie? You were a kid, right? Me too! And that's what got us going.
"Anyway, good luck to them, I say. I do wish them all the very, very best. They'll be doing their best to make a lot of money, so hopefully they will make good movies."
