Roy Keane channels inner James Bond as he skydives from 15,000 feet

Roy Keane took a page out of James Bond's playbook as he dove out of a plane from 15,000 feet.

The Manchester United legend took part in the challenge on the final episode of The Overlap Live series, and dove out of the plane along with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

Keane was a picture of serenity prior to jumping and there wasn't even a glimmer of trepidation as he hurled himself out of the plane.

With a professional partner in tow, Keane descended from a height of 15,000 feet before landing softly in a field.

Keane's calmness was remarked upon by presenter Josh Denzel who claimed he had never seen someone looking so at ease before diving from a plane.

"I was glad it was over at the end. And obviously, it was just - what do you want me to do?" said Keane in trademark fashion.

"But yeah you're scared coming out of the side of the plane. But it was just relief."

Hilariously, Keane claimed that there were a couple of people who may not have been too pleased that he emerged from his excursions unscathed.

"The biggest disappointment was my wife and kids when I got home that day. 'Please God something happens to his parachute,' said Keane with a chuckle.
