Richard Madden recently dropped some hints regarding James Bond.
Since Craig’s departure, there has been much speculation of who will next take on the mantle of Britain’s most famous spy. Daniel Craig retired as 007 last year. It has been noted that the fans have been busy dream casting the role with actors of all types. Many suggested that Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, and Tom Hiddleston be among the several actors to play the role. It has been further noted that the favorites to bag the role include LGBTQ actors like Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey, singer Sam Smith, and Thor’s Tessa Thompson. However, popular actor Idris Elba is not willing to grab the role of James Bond.
Richard Madden hints at James Bond
In the video, the Game of Thrones star and Stanley struggled to contain their giggles as they enjoyed a martini – which happens to be the super spy’s favourite drink. Stanley asked his Citadel co-star, “How’s yours?” Richard then replied, “Delicious,”….leaving followers convinced the GoT actor was indicating he had landed the coveted role.
Soon after the video was shared by Stanley Tucci, one user reacted, “I don’t know what drinks look like, but if that’s Richard Madden drinking a Martini that’s been shaken, not stirred……imma hit the roof with excitement,” while another user commented, “There you go, here’s the new James Bond’ and a third asked: ‘Is that the new James Bond?’”
A third user commented, “To the gods of 007 this is a no-brainer.”
Meanwhile, former Stig Ben Collins revealed that James Bond star Daniel Craig had made him look like ”a complete chump” on the James Bond set as the Top Gear star discussed his ”awkward” cameo. The 48-year-old racing car driver was working as a stunt man on Quantum Of Solace when he was forced to step out of his comfort zone, much to the actor’s amusement. Ben described the moment he was asked to walk around the car, in cool Bond-style, but failed miserably, with Daniel telling him to ‘sit back down.’
