Let's talk about the latest buzz in the world of James Bond, shall we? It seems that Sir Jonathan Pryce, the iconic actor who played villain Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies, has weighed in on the rumors surrounding who will take on the role of the next 007. And his pick? None other than Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the 33-year-old star of Kickass.
The news first broke this week, causing quite a frenzy among Bond fans. It was reported that Aaron had been offered a contract to play the legendary spy, and many were overjoyed at the thought of him stepping into Daniel Craig's shoes. Despite a denial later on, the excitement continued to grow, with even Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls joining in on the conversation. He couldn't resist poking fun at Aaron's long hair, joking that it wasn't very Bond-like and that he would need to "spruce up" if he wanted the role.
But not everyone was on board with the idea. Sir Jonathan, for one, dismissed it as "ridiculous" during an interview on Good Morning Britain. When asked about Aaron's long hair potentially holding him back, he scoffed at the idea and praised the actor's talents. Sir Jonathan even joked that Aaron was quite the ladies' man, even back when he was a teenager.
Of course, Sir Jonathan knows a thing or two about being a Bond villain himself. He played the iconic role in Tomorrow Never Dies and has nothing but good things to say about his former co-star. In fact, he believes that Aaron would make a "great" Bond and has no doubts about his ability to pull off the suave, sophisticated spy.
The rumors were fueled even further when it was reported that Eon Productions, the company behind the Bond films, had officially selected Aaron as the next 007. According to sources, he was set to accept the prestigious job in the "coming days" and filming for the next installment would begin later this year. But unfortunately, those hopes were dashed when a production insider denied the rumors and clarified that Aaron had not been offered the role.
Aaron himself has remained cryptic about the whole situation, neither confirming nor denying the rumors. In an interview with Esquire, he simply stated that he focuses on the things he can control in the present. But it's no secret that he impressed producer Barbara Broccoli during a secret audition at Pinewood Studios, leading many to believe that he may indeed be the next James Bond.
While we may not have a confirmation just yet, it's clear that Sir Jonathan and many others believe that Aaron would make a fantastic Bond. And with his wife, director Sam Taylor-Johnson, by his side, he already has his own "Bond girl." Who knows, maybe we'll see him donning a tuxedo and sipping a martini in the near future. But for now, we'll just have to wait and see. As always, stay tuned for more updates on this exciting story.
