Will Jen be the next Bond girl?

The former Friends actress - reportedly single yet again after splitting from on-off musician lover John Mayer - is under consideration for the next instalment in the spy series after admitting it was a dream of hers.

The Marley And Me star already tested out her chemistry with James Bond star Daniel Craig, inset, when she chatted to him at a recent LA party.

Jennifer, who has just turned 40, admitted: "I'd love to do an action movie. James Bond. Glamour. Daniel Craig. Loads of fun."

Now we hear Bond bosses are seriously considering her.

A source at the franchise's production company EON says: "We're always looking for the next Bond girl.

"She has to be beautiful but she also needs to have brains.

"It helps if she's athletic and able to keep up with the intense stunt work a Bond movie demands.

"Jennifer has all these qualities. It's great to hear she'd love to do a movie because we have used established actresses before such as Teri Hatcher and Denise Richards. It's great she's a fan.

"After her comments it's likely she'll be called in to meet [producers] Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson when we start on the next one."

Jennifer already had her own informal "screen-test" to see how she would work with Daniel when the pair hit it off at the Night Before Party during the Oscars' weekend.

A guest said: "She was chatting with Daniel and his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell and they seemed to be getting on like a house on fire. They looked like old friends and would make a gorgeous pairing on the big screen."

Jennifer proved that she is in the best physical shape she has ever been in by posing naked save for a strategically-placed tie for a recent magazine cover.

And she is sticking to a strict diet to be in Bond Girl shape.

"I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips I'm not going to be hired for the parts I normally would be considered for, " she says.
