Jamie Bell wants to be an action hero.The 'Billy Elliott' star is desperate to play a more masculine character after watching co-star Daniel Craig - who reprises the role of James Bond in the upcoming 'Quantum of Solace' - in new film 'Defiance'.He said: "He runs and does all the head-ducking and diving. And I was like, 'That is the coolest thing I've ever seen'. I'd love to do that. "It's a bit of a stretch; Billy Elliot as an action hero. But I think it can be done."'Defiance' is the story of three Jewish brothers who escape from Nazi occupied Poland and join a group of Russian resistance fighters to build a village to protect themselves.The film is due for release in the US in December this year and internationally in early 2009.
