Billy Elliot actor Jamie Bell is the latest actor to be linked with playing James Bond, with reports claiming that Bell has been in talks with 007 production firm Eon about taking on the role.
Deadline reports that Bell is being considered as “a back-up” to current Bond actor Daniel Craig.
It had been widely reported recently that Craig had decided not to make another Bond film, having apparently turned down a £68 million offer to play 007 for another two movies.
It’s claimed that Bell would take over if Craig rejects the potential ideas for the new films. He has so far played Bond in four films, most recently Spectre in 2015.
