London Jan 24 (IANS) Hollywood legend Tom Hanks said he would love to star in a James Bond movie but he has never been approached for a role.
Hanks told Time Out London magazine that would love to join the 007 family and would be up for playing a villain.
"That would be a treat. No one has asked me to be in any of those. I might have to hold out to play the guy who says Before I kill you Mr. Bond perhaps you would like a tour of my installation? " Hanks said.
Hanks can currently be seen alongside Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep in Steven Spielberg s latest movie "The Post" and the journalism drama marks his fifth collaboration with the iconic filmmaker reports femalefirst.co.uk.
However Hanks said he thought he signed on to star in a film about "defending the First Amendment" not about gender politics or harassment.
"It s ( The Post ) a suspense thriller where there s an awful lot at stake and it s a piece of history that still comments on the present day.
"I thought I d signed on to make a movie about defending the First Amendment but it turned out we also walked into gender politics harassment and a chief executive (the president) who is hell-bent on obfuscating facts."
