Jamie Dornan comments on James Bond rumours


“I’ve been in that conversation for a good couple of years now”

Jamie Dornan has commented on rumours he’s in the running to play the next James Bond.

The Holywood man has consistently been rumoured to be in the running for the role – and last year suggested he doesn’t expect it’ll be him.

This week, the 41-year-old actor said he doesn’t give the rumours “a huge amount of thought”.

Games Radar says Dornan told Total Film magazine: “I’ve been in that conversation for a good couple of years now.

Sometimes I’m more in that conversation than other times. It tends to be if you have a movie coming out.

“I imagine that if people are making noise about [Heart of Stone] when it comes out on Netflix, and hopefully lots of people are watching it, then you enter that conversation again in a bigger way than you were before the movie came out.

“If people want to have your name, that’s cool.

I just am not one of those people who give it a huge amount of thought.”

Meanwhile, the trailer for Netflix’s ‘Heart of Stone’ featuring the NI actor was released earlier this week.

The movie premieres on the streaming service on August 11, 2023 and the film’s star and producer Gal Gadot previously said it’s “gonna be extremely epic”.

Jamie Dornan plays Parker, a MI6 agent, and Alia Bhatt plays hacker Keya Dhawan.
