Ed Sheeran thinks he's too "short and hairy" to record the theme song for the new James Bond film.
The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker - who performed 'I See Fire' for 'The Hobbit' soundtrack - has revealed that he'd need to strengthen his voice before he recorded for a Bond film but wouldn't say no if he was asked.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the BBC Music Awards - where he won the prize for British Artist of the Year - he said: "I am a James Bond fan but I think the James Bond theme tune should be ballsy.
"'The Hobbit' song was perfect for me to do because it was quite folky, guitar driven, and a hairy short man should be singing a song like that."
The 23-year-old singer has championed fellow singing sensation, Sam Smith, for the theme song for the next 007 movie.
He said: "I think Sam Smith would be perfect for the [James Bond theme], proper suited up and strong voice. I'm backing Sam but I think anyone from Sam to Paloma Faith, anyone who does the retro thing really, really f**king well should do it.
"I wasn't born with the James Bond voice. I'm not ruling it out. Maybe in 10 years time when my balls drop, I will."
Meanwhile, Ed has revealed that he has found a friend in Adele, who recorded 'Skyfall', the title track for the most recent Bond film.
Speaking about the 'Someone Like You' hitmaker, he said: "She came to my O2 gig and I was talking to her about my Wembley shows, and about what she's going to do next.
"She's always really friendly and I'm really looking forward to hearing what she does next."

Pharrell Williams and Ed Sheeran won big at the first BBC Music Awards last night (11.12.14).
The 'Happy' hitmaker - who accepted his two awards for Song of the Year and International Artist of the Year via live satellite link from Los Angeles - praised the UK for lifting him to "unimaginable heights".
Accepting his award he said: "The UK has always been amazing to me and so many other artists who just want to do different things ... Those things happen in the UK because you love music, first and foremost.
"It's just been an amazing experience and a great journey. I just want to say thank you to BBC, Radio 1, Radio 2, 1Xtra and the countless amazing English fans that have just lifted my life to unimaginable heights. Thank you so much."
The 41-year-old music producer dedicated his Song of the Year award for 'Happy' to his British fans.
He said: "I often say in interviews: the YouTube views that we get or the purchases that are made on our songs. The decision to stream the songs is not ours, as writers and producers, we are beholding to what the audience thinks and what you guys want to do.
"So when you say 'Song of the Year', it's not really my award, it's your award. As I said before, the folks in the UK have just been so incredibly generous ... Again, I wanna say thank you to everyone and their great nation."
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran picked up the gong for British Artist of the Year.
Speaking to accept his award, the 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker said: "I just wanna say a massive thank you to everyone whose bought a record, bought a ticket, streamed on YouTube, streamed on Spotify ... I don't know if anyone here has, but thank you so much.
"Radio 1 and 1Xtra were the first people to ever play [my music] and that broke everything through for me. BBC have been such big supporters so I wanna say a massive thank you to them."
The show also saw performances from some of the world's biggest artists including Coldplay, One Direction and Ellie Goulding as well as the BBC Introducing Award winner's Catfish and the Bottlemen
The show was ended by Tom Jones and Paloma Faith who sang a rendition of 'God Only Knows', accompanied by a 200 strong choir.

Gwyneth Paltrow makes "orgasmic noises" when she has a pedicure.
Celebrity nail artist Sophy Robson admits she was a bit star-struck when she asked to treat the 'Iron Man 3' star's feet but was reassured by the actress' friendly nature, and surprised by just how much she enjoyed the treatment.
Sophy said: "When I was working at the nail bar, a couple of celebrities used to come in and the one that really left me star-struck was Gwyneth Paltrow.
"I was really nervous and I remember doing her pedicure and thinking, 'I've got Gwyneth Paltrow's foot in my hand!' Somehow I managed to keep my cool. It helped that she was really nice too, although I was giving her a foot massage and she was making all these orgasmic noises."
While Sophy had a good experience with Gwyneth Paltrow, it wasn't so pleasant working for "very difficult" Christina Aguilera.
Speaking to LOOK magazine, she said: "I remember being called up to do Christina Aguilera's nails the night before she was going on [TV show] 'CD:UK'.
"These big American celebs were used to getting their nails done at the click of a finger and they would come to London and expect the same. It definitely wasn't the best experience - she was very, very difficult."

Brandi Glanville's fear of elevators has given her a "great butt".
The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star always takes the stairs when she is moving between floors as she's terrified of hopping in lifts for fear of getting trapped inside, but she believes her phobia has benefited her behind.
She explained: "I'm very blessed with a great butt, but I have to work out. I always take the stairs - also because elevators scare the s**t out of me. I work out three times a week. And if I have a bit to lose, I'll get up and put my ankle weights straight on and walk around in them all day."
Brandi's healthy lifestyle doesn't stop there as she likes to keep on top of her diet by making sure she eats small portions and sticks to clean meals but she admits her guilty pleasure is, and always will be, fast food.
She said: "I don't diet, but I try not to eat a ton. I often fluctuate, like, five pounds, and I know when I need to get it off. I'll eat smaller portions and try to stay away from my favourite fast foods, which is hard.
Although, the blonde beauty - who has sons Mason, 11, and Jake, seven, with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian - would love to have bigger legs as she's feels they're comparable to "skinny bird legs."
She added to Australia's NW magazine: "My legs are always skinny, but I always gain weight in the middle. Even when I was pregnant I had skinny bird legs. Big legs are kind of in style now, I'm like, 'What happened?' "

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star - who filed for divorce from the professional basketball player last year - is reportedly rethinking the couple's split.
A source shared: "Khloé's not trying to be out and public with it right now because she doesn't know what she wants to do when it comes to Lamar.

The source continued to HollywoodLife.com: "But yeah, Khloé has those divorce papers. She's got them. They are in her possession and Lamar's signature is on them.
"She can have them filed officially or tear them up. But she's got them."

The 'Something in the Water' hitmaker - who is expecting a baby boy with Mike Fisher - has admitted that the couple haven't yet settled on a name for their first child.
She revealed: "We're just not even there. We talk about it obviously because somebody will say a name or we'll see a name on TV, or whatever, on credits on the end of a movie or something.
"We'll start throwing things out but it's difficult. I think we'll know when we know. It might even take meeting the little guy before we actually decide on something."
The 31-year-old singer also shared details about her pregnancy junk food cravings, insisting that the holidays are to blame.
She told E! News: "I feel like everybody 'falls off the wagon' every once in a while, especially around the holidays.
"I like to cook, definitely. I love taking naughty food and making it healthy."
Meanwhile, Carrie previously revealed that she feels "pressure" to sing well for her baby because he cannot escape if her vocals aren't good.
She explained: "I feel like he kind of feels ... he hears me singing whether he would like that or not. I mean, that's what I do, he doesn't have a choice.
"I do feel like I have to sing good all the time. Like, if I'm just in my car driving, I feel like I have to make it good because he's listening. He's always in there."

BBC iPlayer is to launch new online series 'EastEnders: Back to Ours'.
The on demand service has created a new online-only show which will see a number of popular castmates from the BBC One soap - including on-screen man and wife Shane Richie (Alfie Moon) and Jessie Wallace (Kat Moon) - relive some of their most iconic moments.
Shane said of the upcoming project: "What a wonderful time I had sitting on the sofa with Jessie watching 12 years of Kat and Alfie. We laughed, we cried and we giggled as we remembered the past 12 years."
Diane Parish and Tameka Empson, who play sisters Denise and Kim Fox, Rudolph Walker (Patrick Trueman), Himesh Patel (Tamwar Masood) and Nitin Ganatra (Masood Ahmed) will also star in the 'Gogglebox' style show in which viewers will see their reactions to some of their own character's most memorable scenes.
They will sit in their on-screen homes while they take a nostalgic look back at clips - which date back to when the show first began in 1985 - and share behind-the-scenes gossip on their favourite storylines.
'Back to Ours' was commissioned for BBC iPlayer in celebration of the soap's upcoming 30th anniversary and will begin in early January in the run up to the live anniversary week in February.

Kim added: "I will admit, food and a good chef will definitely turn her on."
Meanwhile, Scott, 31, even joked that he should put an advert for her on Craigslist.
