Though constantly been linked to reports of playing the next Bond girl, Freida Pinto [ Images ] insists she's too "young" to be part of the 007 movie.

The Slumdog Millionaire [ Images ] star was recently reported to have signed up to play Daniel Craig's [ Images ] love interest in the next James Bond [ Images ] blockbuster, Bond 23 which will be helmed by filmmaker Sam Mendes.

The 25-year-old actress is convinced she would be the wrong choice for a role in the superspy franchise, Ok! magazine reported.

"It was very flattering. I don't know if I would have done it. I'm too young to be a Bond girl and you need someone more mature and beautiful than me," Pinto said.

A representative for the actress had earlier dismissed reports, confirming Pinto has "not been approached" by Bond bosses.
