Conchita Wurst was the star of 2014's Eurovision Song Contest, with the Austrian sweeping to victory during last night's show from Copenhagen. But does the singing diva have a future in movies?
Austrian's entry was the clear winner during Saturday's contest which saw 26 countries competing as millions of TV viewers watched on.
Already a star in her home country, the singer, known for her beard, could move on to even headier heights post Eurovision as Twitter calls for the star to sing the next James Bond theme tune.
With her winning tune Rise Like a Phoenix sounding very Bond-esque, prolific Tweeter @danisnotonfire has already gained over 7,000 favourites since proclaiming last night: "petition for conchita to sing the next bond theme". And even the BBC agree, tweeting:
"We're with @danisnotonfire - Conchita Wurst for the next James Bond theme! She has a licence to thrill".

"I could genuinely see Conchita making a soundtrack for the next Bond film. 'Rise Like a Phoenix' sounded so Bond-esque!" another fan posted.
Another Conchita devotee suggested a double whammy for the star for the forthcoming Bond 24:
"I want Conchita to be the next James Bond AND Bond Girl".
"So pleased for Conchita and the epic Bond theme. Good to see the spirit of Shirley Bassey lives on #SBSEurovision", declared another fan while others were warning Skyfall singer Adele, who was rumoured to be signing on for a second Bond theme, to watch her back:
"The James Bond franchise better be tearing up Adele's contract right now because Conchita now OWNS the word Diva #SBSEurovision".
This tweet basically sums up the ultimate dream though: "Imagine if Conchita and Adele did a duet for the new bond theme".
