Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has said that he would love to play James Bond in the future, but is worried that he is too short.

Radciffe, who is 5ft 7 inches, was speaking after he collected best male at this last weekend's National Movie Awards.

"It takes a big man to turn down the role of Bond," he said. "But I’m not sure the world’s ready for a short-arse Bond. Maybe in the future, but the problem is I would still be a short-arse."

Radcliffe has been also linked to a proposed Young James Bond movie, which would be based on the series of novels as written by former Fast Show star Charlie Higson.
