Nish Kumar wants to play James Bond “as a prank”
James Bond in an “elaborate prank”.In a new interview with The Guardian, the comedian said that he thinks “it would be very cool” to be named as the iconic secret agent.When asked if he would like to star in a Hollywood movie, like his colleague James Acaster in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the stand-up comic responded: “It would be very cool if I was named the next James Bond, because the collective meltdown it would inspire in a section of the British press would be so profoundly hilarious that I almost think Barbara Broccoli should do it as a prank.”Kumar added: “They’ve made enough money from the franchise, why not make the next casting of James Bond an elaborate prank?”This follows recent rumoured developments in the casting of 007, after Daniel Craig stepped down from the role in 2021 with No Time To Die.It was reported last month that Kick-Ass and Tenet star Aaron Taylor-Johnson had been offered the role by production studio EON Productions, who were awaiting his response. Taylor-Johnson has neither confirmed nor denied the rumour.Kumar took the opportunity to throw a jokey remark at Acaster in his response, adding: “I think it’s a longer journey obviously to imagine me as a spy than it is to Acaster as a Ghostbuster because, let’s face it, the guy is a fucking nerd.”Elsewhere in the interview, Kumar opened up about some of the best and worst advice he has received in his career.He explained how he was “once given some pretty horrendous advice by a comedy agent,” sharing: “They told me I should do a broad, racist Indian accent in an audition.

Who is Rowan Atkinson's girlfriend? How James Acaster's ex left him for Mr Bean
Rowan Atkinson has returned to screens as he stars in the newly released Netflix film Man vs Bee.The film, which has dropped on the streaming platform today, is an almost silent comedy that sees the actor pursued by a mischievous bee.Atkinson is renowned for his role as Mr Bean, but in 2011 announced that he intended to retire from the role, telling the BBC: “I don't want him to particularly grow old.”The comedy actor is now 67, but getting older hasn’t altered his dating life and Atkinson currently has a girlfriend who is 26 years younger than him.His relationship with his girlfriend isn’t just controversial because of their age gap, but also because she left her partner, comedian James Acaster, to be with him.Opening up about how the actor stole his girlfriend, James Acaster said he was a “goddamn saint” for keeping it a secret for so long.He also revealed that he was constantly plagued with reminders of the split because of Rowan’s huge fame.He said: “Until you get left for Mr Bean, you don’t realise how frequently he pops up."There’s a shop two streets from my house that sells masks of his face."There’s nowhere where I’m going to go that he’s not there.”Unfortunately for James, it looks like he’s set to be reminded of the split yet again as Atkinson makes a return to film.Here’s how the comedian found out that he’d been left for Mr Bean.Rowan Atkinson’s girlfriend is 41-year-old actress and comedian Louise Ford.Louise met Rowan in 2013 on the set of the West End play Quartermaine’s Terms.They starred in the play together and went public with their relationship in 2014, shortly after Rowan split from his wife of 23 years.The actor’s ex-wife Sunetra Sastry was granted a divorce on the grounds of Rowan’s "unreasonable
