Diddy: ‘I Am King’ Promo Is Audition Tape for First Black 007 Role

Posted by Juan
Inspired by Obama’s Victory, Diddy seeks to make history as First black Bond using creative audition tape

So if you were as confused by Diddy’s whole explanation of the theme behind his I Am King fragrance and how it all tied into Barack Obama’s historic victory you weren’t along but it appears we finally have the answer. Sean “Diddy” Combs has actually been using the ad campaign as a shameless plug/ audition video for James Bond franchise producers in hopes that his on screen swagger will persuade the film makers to cast him in an upcoming flick thus making HIM the first black Bond.
“This is my audition tape for the next James Bond,” Diddy explains in his video blog below. “There is a black president, and it’s time for there to be a black Bond.”
According to Britain’s Daily Mirror, Diddy will face stiff competition from Akon and accomplished Academy Award winner, Jamie Foxx who have both expressed interest in such part should it become available . The current Bond, Daniel Craig has been cast in the last two films Casino Royale and most recently Quantum of Solace. Judging from the run of his predicesors which include Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, Diddy and the gang will have to wait at least a few more flicks before filmakers are looking to cast a new bond. Perhaps his largest obstacle to overcome however is that the franchise has always selected an English actor to play the part which could put Diddy at an extreme disadvantage.
But if you ask Diddy he’s faced obstacles before and remains undeterred dropping a reported $750,000 on the campaign/ audition tape which he filmed on the set of the recent Bond Flick “Casino Royale” which was set in the South of France.
