Stephen Hawking Goes in More Depth About Why He'd Be a Great Bond Villain

So with a movie about his life cleaning up at awards shows this season, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has made it no secret that he'd like to play a villain in an upcoming James Bond film.

But...how would that work? Why would Hawking be right for the role?

He explained it to Wired Magazine:

"My ideal role would be a baddie in a James Bond film. I think the wheelchair and the computer voice would fit the part."

It also makes sense in a classic narrative way: often in fiction people with physical infirmities are given over to great mental abilities, and very often (especially when pitted against a hero who's a gorgeous, powerful physical specimen) this can turn them to evil.
