Jude Bellingham has revealed he wants to be the next James Bond - and even submitted something of an audition tape.

The England star gave his best Bond impression as he sat alongside James Corden for the presenter's FOX TV carpool show. 

He also sang Sweet Caroline without skipping a lyric and left many viewers thinking that he is, perhaps, debonair enough to succeed Daniel Craig after all. 

'I'd love to be in a movie,' said the 23-year-old, who has scored twice for England at the World Cup. 

'People always ask me: "What's the thing you want to do outside of football?" I never really give it that much thought but when I have, I've always come to, I'd love to be in a film.

'I'd love to be James Bond. I've watched all of them. I've watched the [Sean] Connery ones, Roger Moore, I've seen all of them, I love James Bond. 

'I swear I'd love to be in the back of a James Bond film.'

At this, Corden cried out in shock. Why would you only want to be in the background? Why not go the full hog? 

'You've got to crawl before you can walk,' replied Bellingham, but Corden was in no mood to let him off. 

And so the attacking midfielder was tasked with delivering the franchise's iconic line: 'The name's Bond, James Bond.'

After his first attempt, Corden was impressed and even Bellingham appeared optimistic about his chances, concluding: 'I think I've got a shot.'

He also recreated Jack Nicholson's 'You can’t handle the truth' line from the 1992 movie A Few Good Men.

Bellingham has achieved a level of fame that means his life is comparable to a Hollywood star.

He opened up on how he has to wear a 'hoodie, cap, [and] shades' if he wants to go around Madrid and not be recognised.

'It can be tough when you're losing, but generally speaking, there are a lot of really warm people in the city,' he said.

The Stourbridge native also spoke of his admiration for David Beckham and what he has achieved in the United States, saying he would like to emulate him. 

Beckham joined LA Galaxy in 2007 and is now the owner of Inter Miami. 

'I do think it would be cool to live and play there as well,' Bellingham said.

'I do think at some point that would be pretty cool.  

'Look at Becks and him going to LA Galaxy and then doing what he's done in Miami.'
