James Bond: Henry Golding addresses those replacing Daniel Craig rumours as next 007

The Last Christmas star is currently doing press for his new rom-com, but having good odds to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond means he’s going to be asked if he’s in the running. The 32-year-old’s best odds are 8-1 for taking up the Licence to Kill next.

And in a recent interview on The Tonight Show, Golding was asked by Jimmy Fallon how he felt about the prospect.

Golding said: “If you’re a male movie star, it is literally the most iconic role possible.

“You’d be an absolute idiot not to sort of think and aspire for a role like that.

“I mean, who knows?”

He added: “Oh, touche [laughs]. No, I used to do a little bit of Muay Thai as a kid, a bit of boxing…

“So an action movie, a sci-fi action movie would be my favourite thing in the world to do.”

Daniel Craig’s No Time To Die is released next April, so presumably, we’re still a way away from any next Bond auditions with producer Barbara Broccoli.

Nevertheless, Golding has some tough competition.
