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 villain in a James Bond film," Hawking told Wired, as reported by the Telegraph. “I think the wheelchair and his voice computer would fit 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 spoke about why his voice was like that, and how the computer took over the duties of his speech.
"I could talk to a voice composer, even though that gave me an American accent," Hawking said. "I have kept that voice, because it is now my trademark."
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, uses computer to speak, which works with a muscle in his cheek.
Whether Hawking ends up playing the villain in the next Bond or not, the famous scientist has already left his mark on art, with appearances on “The Simpsons,” “Star Trek” and “The Big Bang Theory,” among others. Recorded a segment for "Monty". Python Live (Mostly)" that were presented in the summer in London. His voice is also heard in one song by Pink Floyd released in 1994, "Keep Talking".
