In a recent interview, the actor and director revealed who, in his opinion, would be the perfect candidate to become the new James Bond, the character played by Daniel Craig between 2006 and 2021.
Craig brought the most famous British secret agent to life in five films, and since his farewell as 007, speculation has continued over who will be the next actor to lead the franchise.
Production on the next 007 film is officially underway, and in a conversation with the Hollywood Reporter, George Clooney said without hesitation that Callum Turner should be chosen for the role.
“I hope Callum ends up being the next Bond,” he told the publication. “I think he would be a great Bond. He is tall, handsome, charming and British, so he is the perfect guy for the role.”
Clooney, who directed Turner in the 2023 sports drama “The Boys in the Boat”, is not the only one who believes that the star of “Eternity” is the ideal name for the role of Agent 007; in fact, Dua Lipa’s husband is also the favorite of British newspapers and betting houses to become the next James Bond.
In recent interviews, Turner avoided giving a direct answer on the subject and only said he finds the situation amusing, since even people he has not been in contact with for a long time have been sending messages asking whether the rumors are true.
