Actor Jack Lowden has addressed speculation about his possible casting as the next James Bond , saying the attention is “all very flattering” but that he does not wish to add to the ongoing discussions about the coveted 007 role, according to People.
They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. “We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? So my fingers are crossed for Jack. “It’s very nice, and Gary’s a sweetheart. It’s particularly lovely, coming from someone like him.
During an appearance on Canada’s The Morning Show, Oldman, 68, had said that the casting decision had already been made, although an official announcement was still awaited, according to People. “Because they have picked [the next Bond].
Oldman said at the time. Reacting to his co-star’s remarks, Lowden said he appreciated the support but was not reading too much into the prediction. But I don’t really listen to it,” he said.
The Slow Horses star, 36, spoke about the rumours in an interview. In October, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Lowden and fellow actor Callum Turner, also 36, were among the finalists being considered for the role. Lowden acknowledged that being considered for the iconic role was flattering While he neither confirmed nor denied the reports.
Lowden also responded to comments made by his Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman , who had suggested in a September interview that the actor was among those being considered for the role. The report added that the two actors were expected to participate in final screen tests at the end of October before a casting decision was made.
“It’s all very flattering,” he told the publication, which noted that the actor appeared visibly unsettled when questioned about the upcoming Denis Villeneuve-directed Bond film. “It’s nice to be mentioned, for any role, and I’m just not really going to add to the noise,” he added.
