But this, I바카라m like, 바카라Let바카라s go. Let바카라s get on with it. I바카라m fine.바카라바카라

From Tom Hardy and Dwayne Johnson to Regé-Jean Page and Cillian Murphy, here's a list of actors who have talked about playing the coveted role.

Regé-Jean Page

 For a long time, social media has been buzzing with rumours regarding actor Regé-Jean Page playing the coveted James Bond role. When Jimmy Fallon questioned the 31-year-old 'Bridgerton' star about the Bond rumours, the actor gave a measured response and replied, 바카라I think the internet thinks a lot of things, that's one of the more pleasant ones, so I'm pleased as far as that goes. But there might be an element of cultural translation here. If you're a Brit and you do something of any kind of renown, that people regard well, then people start saying the 'B' word. It's like a merit badge. You get a 'B' word merit badge.바카라 

Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson, 49, stated in an interview with Esquire that he wanted to succeed Daniel Craig as the famed spy after his grandpa, Peter Maivia, portrayed a villain in the 1967 007 film, You Only Live Twice. "Yes, my grandfather was a Bond villain... with Sean Connery. Very, very cool and I would like to follow in his next footsteps and be the next Bond," Johnson said while appearing in the Esquire video series Explain This. "I don't want to be a villain. You gotta be Bond."

Henry cavil

The 37-year-old star of 'The Witcher' actually already auditioned for James Bond in his 20s 바카라 but obviously never got the role. In an interview with GQ, the actor said of the opportunity coming around again: 바카라If Barbara [Bond producer Barbara Broccoli] and Mike [co-producer Michael G Wilson] were interested in that, I would absolutely jump at the opportunity. At this stage, it바카라s all up in the air. We바카라ll see what happens. But yes, I would love to play Bond, it would be very, very exciting.바카라

So I can바카라t possibly comment on that one.바카라
