Shaken, stirred, and downright outraged! The Bondverse is bursting at the seams with chatter that Aussie hunk Jacob Elordi might slip into the secret service shoes as the next James Bond. DeuxMoi, the oracle of celeb whispers, dropped the bomb that Amazon's courting Elordi for the blockbuster gig, with cameras set to roll this October. Hold on to your martinis - if this is true, Elordi, at 28, would be the youngest and at 6ft 5in, the tallest Bond ever, out-sizing all the Brits who've held the license to kill!
But wait, the Bond aficionados are having none of it! They've taken to the web, desperate to 'keep Bond British,' shooting down the notion of a non-British Bond as 'farcical.' From craving Henry Cavill in the sleek suit to flat-out rejection of Elordi's towering frame, the fans are on fire. Yet, Elordi's got his champions too, impressed by his rise to stardom and award-nabbing turn as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein.'
Despite the furor, the Euphoria star remains cool as a cucumber in a tux. When nudged about the Bond buzz, Elordi said he's chuffed people are keen to cast him. Meanwhile, visionary director Denis Villeneuve's at the helm for Bond 26, with filming hoped to kick-off by late 2026 or early 2027. The jury's out, and while Elordi's Bond fate hangs in the balance, one thing's for sure - the race to fill Daniel Craig's polished shoes is as thrilling as a high-speed chase through the streets of Monte Carlo! So place your bets, who's going to be the next cinema spy extraordinaire? Watch this space for more!
