British superstar Daniel Craig has nominated Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp as his successor in portraying the British secret agent James Bond.
When Craig received a question from TV analyst and former Liverpool defender Jimmy Carragher during a television interview, if Klopp was suitable for the “Bond” character, the actor’s first reaction was laughter.
And Craig added, “I’m a huge fan of Klopp, so yes I would nominate him for the role.”
He continued to Jimmy Carragher: “I’ve been fortunate enough to meet him a few times, and you just want to follow him.”
“There are two people he’s met over the years like that, and the other was the ex-Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson actually, but I really shouldn’t mention him,” said Daniel Craig.
“Klopp is a leader, so I think he’s kind of really beyond James Bond,” Craig said.
It is noteworthy that Daniel Craig is a big fan of the “Liverpool” team.
"Do you think Jurgen Klopp would make a good James Bond?!" 🤣

For his part, Jurgen Klopp refused to nominate Daniel Craig to portray “James Bond”.
Justifying his refusal, he said, “I’m going to be a really bad James Bond! If I go out into the sea in a swimsuit, the whole world will turn away from me.”
Klopp means by talking to Daniel Craig’s exit from the sea, reviewing his graceful and athletic body from the 2006 movie “Casino Royale”, which witnessed his first appearance in the “James Bond” character.
Klopp joked that he would destroy the Bond franchise if she became the secret agent.
And he continued: “It’s a great story that I will always watch, Bond has to save the world while I have to help Liverpool.”
Daniel Craig’s comments about Jurgen Klopp coincide with the release of “No Time to Die” in cinemas, which is his last incarnation of the “James Bond” character.
“I was lucky enough to meet him a few times and I will miss him as James Bond,” Klopp said of Craig.
