Next James Bond odds – The Gold’s Jack Lowden closes in on Tom Hardy | Films | Entertainment

Jessica O’Reilly of Ladbrokes said: “Jack Lowden’s portrayal of Kenneth Noye in The Gold has gone down an absolute storm with viewers and they’ve piled into his odds of becoming the next James Bond.”

The 32-year-old is certainly the right age to be starting a career as Bond and has seen his odds slashed from 16-1 to 10-1.

Speaking recently with Esquire the actor played it coy, saying: “No, I’ve never auditioned. Like everyone else, I’m still trying to get over the fact that Daniel Craig’s not doing it anymore. I think he should still be doing it, to be honest, and he was my Bond. It’s very flattering to be asked about it, but I’m very much all about River Cartwright at the moment.”

Whatever the case, he has some stiff competition in the odds, which should of course be taken with a pinch of salt.
