Jason Statham shuts down Bond rumours

Jason Statham has shut down rumours he could play James Bond.



The 51-year-old actor is a veteran of the action genre and there has been speculation that he could be in the frame to take over the role of 007 from Daniel Craig when he hangs up his tuxedo after his upcoming fifth and final outing.



But, despite his experience of big screen blockbusters, Statham insists it's very unlikely that the Bond producers will come to him.



When asked about his chances of playing the suave spy at the world premiere of his latest movie 'The Meg' in Los Angeles, he said: "No one is coming to me for that job!"
