Zac Efron, High School Musical star, is desperate to leave his cute Disney image behind - he's eyeing a role as a Bond villain.

The actor is already set to star in a "sexy thriller" from the writer of The Thomas Crown Affair in a bid to shake off his teen idol image, and now he wants to star in the 007 franchise, alongside Daniel Craig's superspy.

He says, "I'm a huge James Bond fan. I'd love to be a Bond baddie. I've seen pretty much every Bond film. Sean Connery is my favourite and I really like Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan."
