Josh O’Connor has reportedly been tipped as the next James Bond by a castmate following a night out after his Almeida Theatre production, *Golden Boy*
The claim arrives despite the actor recently indicating he may take a break from work in 2027 and previously playing down speculation about becoming 007
Bookmakers currently favour Jack Lowden, with Callum Turner also among the leading contenders
O’Connor, known for *The Crown* and *Challengers*, has described the attention as flattering, while insisting there is no official news to share.
