Various reports say that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the favorite to play James Bond
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has finally spoken out about the rumors linking him to the James Bond character.
The next 007
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor-Johnson was asked if the reports that he would be the new 007 were true. As expected, the actor neither confirmed nor denied the rumors about the popular secret agent. Below, we share their words.
“I can only speak truthfully about the things I show and tell. So, The Fall Guy, Nosferatu, Kraven the Hunter. I don’t think I need a future defined for me. I feel like whatever comes my way, I can do better.”
Taylor-Johnson also told Rolling Stone that she struggles with physically demanding films, hinting that she doesn’t want to do that type of film too often.
“I don’t necessarily want this to be my brand, doing one action movie over another. But I trained to the point where I had 200 pounds of muscle. I ate so much damn food. I was too big.”
Although Taylor-Johnson’s statements indicate that he is not interested in playing James Bond at this time, an agreement can always be reached (especially if they offer him a very impressive amount of money). In addition, the actor can play by cheating so that they don’t ask him about it.
