Zlatan Ibrahimovic puts himself in frame to be next James Bond… but ex-Man Utd star reckons he’d be a better villain

SWEDISH superstar now plays for LA Galaxy and clearly sees his future in nearby Hollywood

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC fancies going from goalden eye to Goldeneye - and being the next James Bond.

The identity of the next Bond remains a highly classified secret but Zlatan reckon he would be at the front of the Q judging by this photo he posted to his 36.4 million Instagram followers.

Ibra, 37, who has spoken previously about playing the secret agent, captioned the snap: "Inspector Clouseau @johnamatielloigen and 007."

He certainly suits being in front of the camera in a perfectly-fitted black jacket and bow tie with a cigar held between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Zlatan plays for MLS side LA Galaxy - so maybe the world was not enough.

But the fiery Swede reckons he would be a better baddie if he made the short hop to Hollywood.

Asked about his plans for when he hangs up his boots, Ibrahimovic said: "I have felt for many years that I am myself more and more in front of the camera.

"That I could do more, for example being an actor. The good guy, the bad guy – I would be able to do anything. I can adapt – I'm like the chameleon.

"There are various offers from the movie world. But it has to be right. I don't want to be an extra in the background. A good part – then I'm in the picture.

"A Jason Bourne, a James Bond - why not? But as you say: not the good guy but the bad guy."
