The last ambition for his career Stephen Hawking has nothing to do with validating theories about how the world works. The famous theoretical physicist wants to play in movies, namely:
"An ideal role for me would be a bad guy in a James Bond movie," Hawking told Wired, according to the Telegraph. "I think the wheelchair and the computer voice would match the role."
Hawking, 72 of the Year, appears on the cover of the January issue of the Wired magazine, which will be released on Thursday.
While filming for the next Bond movie seems to be starting soon, Hawking has a tough competitor. Rumors say Christoph Waltz will play the villain in the movie and will be released by autumn.
In the interview he gave to Wired, Hawking talked about why his voice is the way it is, and how the computer took over his speaking duties.
"I could talk to a voice synthesizer, although it gave me an American accent," Hawking said. “I've kept that voice because now it is signal my record.”
Hawking suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a debilitating disease that has robbed him of his voice and left him confined to a wheelchair. Since 1997, he has been using electronic computer to speak, which works with a muscle in his cheek.
Whether Hawking eventually plays the villain in the next Bond or not, the famous scientist has already left his mark on art, appearing in "The Simpsons", "Star Trek" and "The Big Bang Theory", among others. He recorded an excerpt from "Monty Python Live (Mostly)" which premiered in London this summer. His voice is also heard in a Pink Floyd song they released in 1994, "Keep Talking".
