AceShowbiz - Priyanka Chopra has put herself in the running to be the first female James Bond.
The actress is a massive fan of the British spy drama franchise, and thinks it's definitely time for a female 007 - and she thinks she's the perfect candidate.
"I've always been keen on (playing James Bond) but I can't put myself into the race obviously," she told Britain's Metro newspaper. "I think, in my lifetime it would be amazing to have a female Bond. Whether that's me or someone else, it's something I would love to see."
The "Baywatch" star made it clear she's a serious contender and, when asked which actress she could see stepping into Daniel Craig's shoes, she joked: "Me!".
"I don't know, I would just be very happy with the fact that it would be a woman," "The Sky Is Pink" actress explained. "I definitely think (it's time)."
Filming recently wrapped on the 25th Bond movie, "No Time To Die", which is rumoured to be Craig's fifth and final outing in the role. It debuts in cinemas next April (2020).
