British actor, who was rumored to be the next James Bond, shares disappointing news.

Fans of the James Bond franchise were disappointed when one of the top contenders for the iconic role, Leo Woodall, crushed their hopes during an appearance on Lorraine with his Bridget Jones co-stars. The handsome 27-year-old, known for his role in Netflix's One Day, was rumored to be in the running alongside other favorites like Theo James and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Woodall's portrayal of the troubled yet charming Dexter in One Day had captured the hearts of fans, but it seems they won't be seeing him don the famous tuxedo and carry the license to kill anytime soon. During his interview on Lorraine, Woodall revealed that he had asked his agents about the possibility of playing Bond, but they had not heard anything about it. He dismissed the rumors as nothing more than speculation.

Since Daniel Craig's final turn as 007 in No Time To Die, there has been much speculation about who will take on the role next. Names like Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Cillian Murphy, and Aidan Turner have all been thrown into the mix, and more recently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been the hot favorite after reportedly shooting the classic Bond gun barrel sequence.

However, Woodall's odds for the role have been favorable, placing him at sixth on the list according to betideas.com. The actor, who will next appear in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, has also gained popularity in the betting world after his performances in The White Lotus and One Day.

But regardless of who takes on the role, Woodall's career is sure to skyrocket in the coming years. He has a highly anticipated role in the next Bridget Jones film, where he will play the love interest of the titular character. As for Aaron Taylor-Johnson, when asked about the Bond rumors, he simply redirected the focus to his current project, Kraven, promising that it won't disappoint.

While the search for the next James Bond may seem like a foregone conclusion, there may be a twist in the tale yet. But for now, fans will have to wait and see who will inherit the tuxedo and license to kill. One thing is for sure, whoever takes on the role will have big shoes to fill.
