Robert Irwin to star in upcoming James Bond movie?

Robert Irwin sets the record straight on James Bond rumours in his latest interview.

The celebrity conservationist opens up about taking the role of Bond after Hollywood is searching for a new face to play the iconic spy in a forthcoming movie.

He tells The Watchlist, “If Jacob Elordi, who is an Australian actor, pulls out, I'm there.”

“I don’t know if my first role can be James Bond, but I wouldn't say no. A khaki tux? Obviously! And the villain would be habitat destruction,” jokingly said the 22-year-old.

Elsewhere in the interview, Robert opens up about the shocking reason for working nonstop over the years.

“I can't stand being still; it makes me physically ill. That's not even an analogy. I actually get physically nauseous if I'm inside,” he admits.

Robert notes that he “says yes to everything,” but whenever he goes home, “the real work for Australia Zoo and my conservation projects begins”.

“My day job starts when I get back... I love that,” he continues.

Meanwhile, Robert shares that he will make a surprise appearance this coming Wednesday as a guest judge on an iconic Channel Ten reality TV series.

“We're going straight to MasterChef Australia… My approach is: if you're going to do it, you've got to go all out,” he adds.

According to some industry insiders, Hollywood “is definitely starting to notice”.

“The industry absolutely sees him as somebody who could become Australia's next major global star,” states a source.
