Geoffrey Moore, son of Roger, slams Hugh Jackman and Clive Owen`s prospects as the next 007

Channel 4 News (UK) have reported that Geoffrey Moore, son of seven-times 007 Roger Moore, is not too pleased with the candidates potentially lining themselves up to take over when Pierce Brosnan steps down.

Geoffrey apparently has "hit out at reports Australian actor Hugh Jackman will become the next 007 - claiming the role should go to a British actor."

Moore Jnr - who has previously been tipped to take on the role himself - was horrified when he heard the X-Men star is favourite (according to certain parts of the media, most commonly those based in Australia).

He fumes, "It couldn`t be him. Even if Jackman could do a perfect English accent, it just wouldn`t be the same. You might as well have Brad Pitt and go the whole Hollywood route."

The 37-year-old is equally dismissive of British choice Clive Owen.

He snipes, "He`d be a Bond in the Timothy Dalton mould."

We assume Geoffrey Moore didn`t like Timothy Dalton`s portrail of 007.
