Melbourne
(ANI):
Aussie
actor
Sam
Worthington,
famed
for
his
Avatar's
role,
has
been
tipped
as
the
next
person
to
play
the
famous
spy
James
Bond.
According
to
the
Daily
Telegraph,
Worthington,
33,
has
become
the
favourite
ahead
of
Will
Smith
to
replace
Daniel
Craig
as
the
famed
British
spy
on
the
big
screen,
reports
News.com.au.
His
interpretation
of
Corporal
Jake
Sully,
a
disabled
soldier
who
falls
in
love
with
an
alien
from
Pandora
in
Avatar
helped
the
James
Cameron
film
to
overtake
Titanic
as
the
highest
grossing
film
ever.
Names
being
touted
as
his
potential
love
interest
as
new
Bond
girls
include
Britain's
Cheryl
Cole
and
Freida
Pinto,
who
starred
in
Slumdog
Millionaire.
The
only
other
Australian
to
play
the
hero,
most
famously
brought
to
life
by
Roger
Moore
and
Sean
Connery,
was
George
Lazenby.
