Jamie Foxx seems to think that rapper/producer Diddy (P.Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs) and Denzel Washington would make great candidates to be the first black James Bond. 

Foxx says, “Bond has got to come on up, man. They’ve got to get with the times. It needs oomph right now. “Diddy would have made a good Bond. “I tell you who would have made a great Bond about eight years ago: Denzel Washington. He was doing THE PELICAN BRIEF, PHILADELPHIA. I’m sitting in some awards show (I snuck in) and I write, ‘Do you ever think about playing James Bond?’ on a napkin, walked over and handed it to him. I don’t know if he ever read it.”
