Would you like this choice?

quote:

The always-reliable Roger Friedman, a journalist with decades of work to back him up, has paralleled what I heard and reported many months ago: Jacob Elordi is being heavily sought out to play James Bond.

This morning, Elordi, 28, received his first Oscar nod for “Frankenstein.” It’s been a wild last few years for the Australian-born actor, who broke out with HBO’s “Euphoria” and has since taken off, working on films by Sofia Coppola, Emerald Fennell, Paul Schrader, Guillermo del Toro, and Ridley Scott.

Friedman’s story, which has now been picked up by Drudge, reports that Elordi has had meetings with Bond producers, Amazon/MGM and director Denis Villeneuve. If he gets the job, he’d be the youngest 007 ever, which does align with previous reports that Amazon was looking for a young Bond to reboot the franchise.

He’d definitely be the tallest bond ever

I'm still in the Theo James or Tom Hiddleston camp until they're passed over.

Yep, both would be great. If this is report is true, looks like they're going with a young Bond

I liked him before but seeing him in The Night Manager, I'm sold.

If they're not going to go with him, I'd rather they go with a relatively unknown though.

Had to look up his photo. He looks like Sean Connery with all the masculinity sucked out of him.

He's a good actor.

Brits might have a cow since he is not British but an Aussie I think

I just can't get into the the new young A list of actors. I know Elordi is supposed to be "hot" but he's weird looking as hell to me and I don't want to get started on lil Timmy Chalamet

Good for him. Solid dude .... a wiry, but strong looking 6'6" and tougher than you might think. I did something with him in China that required more than posing for the camera. He would make a fine bond from what I've seen.
