There were rumours floating around about a year ago that Orlando Bloom was poised to become the next 007. Thank goodness those rumours were false. Or did we just not hear the rumour right?
Sky is now reporting that Bloom is in line to play the young James Bond. Here is what they have to say:
Orlando Bloom as James Bond? Well, almost. This news will leave the girls shaken and stirred… as the Hollywood hunk is in serious talks about a series of films based on an idea by a new author about the early life of the worlds most famous action hero James Bond.
The books will be out later in the year and so far we cannot tell you who the famous author is – as that too will leave you shaken and stirred.
Ok, now while I HATED the idea of Bloom as James Bond… I must admit that I don’t mind the idea of him as a young James Bond. Bloom isn’t a half bad actor (although certainly not great), and I think he carries the charm of a Bond. Actually, I’m more curious to see who this Author is.
