Seems as though the Irish charm and devilish good looks could be the ticket for Aidan Turner becoming the new James Bond.
It worked for Pierce Brosnan and now it might be the turn for Dublin's Aidan Turner as rumours are rife that he is in the running to replace Daniel Craig as 007.
According to The Sun, Turner is already in talks with producers of the franchise. His previous roles in The Hobbit, Poldark and And Then there Were None have gained him a huge following and makes him a strong contender for the role. However Turner will have to face off some stiff competition from the likes of Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Tom Hiddleston who have all expressed interest in the job prospect.
Spectre is assumed to be Craig's last appearance as James Bond with director Sam Mendes also throwing in the towel so everything is up for grabs. Perhaps Turner should be expecting a call from M some time soon. We certainly hope so!
