The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s tall and handsome and charming and British, so he\u2019s the perfect guy to do it.\u201d<\/p>\nTurner stated he knows \u201cas much as you do\u201d regarding the role and found it \u201cweird\u201d that even close friends and long-lost acquaintances inquire about it despite him having no information.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will tell you what\u2019s so funny about the Bond thing: Even your best friends ask you, people text you that you haven\u2019t spoken to for 10 years \u2013 and you know nothing! \u201cIt is such a weird thing of something happening and nothing happening at all. I genuinely know nothing. I just find it quite amusing.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if he\u2019s at least interested in the role, Turner laughed: \u201cI\u2019m not going to comment on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
There has been significant speculation in recent weeks as to who could be offered the role after Amazon MGM announced that the search for an actor is officially underway. <\/p>\n
It was announced last summer that the next film will be written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, while will be directed by Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.<\/p>\n
Other actors tipped for the role include Tom Francais, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Harry Dickinson. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, hundreds of guests piled into Villa Valguarnera in Sicily to celebrate the wedding of pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner last weekend. <\/p>\n
After a ceremonial exchange of vows, Elton John serenaded the couple with a special rendition of Your Song, and among those in attendance were Charli XCX and Donatella Versace.<\/p>\n
The celebrations came a week after the couple officially tied the knot in a civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on May 31. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Clooney has fuelled rumours that Dua Lipa\u2019s boyfriend, Callum Turner, is set to become the next actor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":["post-729135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
