Playing Nice star James Norton has addressed claims he’ll be the next James Bond after being confronted with a “clue” in his new BBC series.
Since then, a number of actors have been rumoured to replace him in the iconic role, including Bridget Jones star Leo Woodall, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, and rumoured favourite, Aaron-Taylor Johnson.
Speculation has swirled since Daniel Craig – the longest-running actor to ever play the British spy – announced he would be retiring from the franchise.
In a scene in Playing Nice, Norton’s character Pete Riley is the only person not wearing a tuxedo at a black tie event.
Some took this as substantiating a theory that actors are not able to wear a tuxedo in any other project if contracted to play James Bond.
