Olga Kurlyenko wants to play the "female" James Bond.

In an interview with the new Loaded site (loaded.co.uk), she said: "I'd love to play a female equivalent of Bond. What would I be called? Jessica Bond."

Olga doesn't think a woman should ever be cast in the actual role of 007 but thinks there is a gap in the franchise for a equivalent character who is a woman.

She said: "James Bond is a man, so he can't suddenly turn into a woman. But there could definitely be a franchise where a Bond woman is the hero."

The 36-year-old actress was always interested in war and soldiers when she was a child and she's delighted she now gets to act out her fantasies on the big screen.

Olga - who plays a trained killer in her latest film 'Momentum' - revealed: "Saving the world is what I always dreamed about doing as a little girl. I'm kind of fulfilling my childhood fantasy.

"Instead of wanting to be a princess when I was younger, I wanted to be a soldier. I'd dress up in military clothes and play war with the boys. At that age, you don't understand why you do things. But I guess I just always wanted to be a strong woman."
