    Robert Pattinson would 'definitely' like to play James Bond - co could he bag the role?

    Robert Pattinson may only just have finishing promoting new flick Cosmpolis, but it seems the smouldering Twilight actor has already set his sights on a new role - none less than 007 agent James Bond.

    According to Rob, he'd 'definitely' like to go for the hardman part, currently played by Daniel Craig.

    'Yeah, I’d definitely like to go for Bond, but in more like 20 years,' Rob told the Sun.

    'There’d be nothing worse than, like, "Let’s get a fresh-faced Bond!" That would be the worst idea in the world.'

    'After Daniel Craig, you have to have some baggage.
