“On this\u2026 it’s all very flattering,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to be mentioned \u2013 for any role \u2013 and I’m just not really going to add to the noise,” he said.<\/p>\n
Last month, his Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman claimed the new Bond had been chosen, adding that he had his “fingers crossed” for Lowden.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Canada’s Global, Oldman said: “It’s been rumoured that he’s on the shortlist.<\/p>\n
“We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him.<\/p>\n
“They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack.”<\/p>\n
When asked about Oldman’s comments, Lowden said: “It’s very nice, and Gary’s a sweetheart \u2013 it’s particularly lovely, coming from someone like him.<\/p>\n
“But I don’t really listen to it.”<\/p>\n
He added: “As a young male actor, generally, the minute you’re not playing a zany artist type, the minute you’re in a suit, people fling it at you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“On this\u2026 it’s all very flattering,” he said. “It’s nice to be mentioned \u2013 for any role \u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-821924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
