Lindsey Vonn would love to be a Bond girl

Lindsey Vonn

US skier Lindsey Vonn, 33, has been an athlete for more than two decades, but she feels that it's time people saw her in a different role as she makes her foray into acting. The three-time Olympic medallist told ESPN recently that she is pursuing a career in Hollywood and her favourite genre is action films.

"I feel like I'd be pretty good in action. I look at Dwayne [Johnson], he is kind of like my role model. How he does everything. He started with an action character. Ronda Rousey has been in a few movies as well. Ideally, it would be amazing to be like Super Girl," she said.

She added that if the makers of the James Bond ever plan to have a female lead, she would fit the bill. "Oh, I would totally be the next Bond. I would be a Bond girl any day. We should just have a female Bond and it should be me - I would be totally fine with that," said Vonn.
