Josh 000'Connor
Josh O'Connor, who portrayed Prince Charles in Netflix's The Crown, has spoken about his name being in the mix to play James Bond.
The 36-year-old, who grew up in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, said:
"To be considered in that same sort of bracket is extraordinary. It's an incredibly bizarre pinch-me moment even being uttered in that same sentence and being considered for something like that".
"But I am afraid there is nothing to say beyond that", he added.
