Actor Justin Long would love to see Paris Hilton play a villain in a fifth installment of the Die Hard action series - because she would be the female equivalent of British actor Jeremy Irons.

The Dodgeball star believes the Simple Life star would be perfect for the role, just as Irons was as the bad guy in 1995's Die Hard With A Vengeance.

He tells MTV.com, "I would like to see Paris Hilton be the bad guy. That would be fun. Let her play a diabolical super-scientist or something like that."

"She is sort of like the female Jeremy Irons - let's face it."
