The actress says that she is not a “snob” about entertainment.

Rachel Weisz has said that she would like to play a James Bond villain.

The actress told Esquire that she would not say no to a role in the 007 series.

“I’d like to!” Weisz said when quizzed on the possibility of playing a Bond baddie.

“I wouldn’t say no. I’m not a snob about entertainment.”

Asked why she does not discuss her relationship with current James Bond star Daniel Craig, she added: “There are lots of people involved, including children who are getting older.

“And they didn’t choose to have us as parents. I genuinely just don’t think it’s very fair on them to have their parents talk about stuff.”

Of her decision-making when picking roles, Weisz said: “Some of the material I’m attracted to is not… it’s just not commercial.

“Which means it’s really f**king interesting, you know? It’s off-centre. It doesn’t fit in a genre.”

She continued: “You can be more successful if you’re more strategic.

“There’s a lot of big movies that I’m not interested in that I get offered. But this [Oz the Great and Powerful] was one that I really, really wanted to do. I was piqued by it.”
