ME AS BOND? NO COMMENT: HARDY

Hollywoodollywood actoractor TomTom Hardy (above) “can’t possibly comment” on whether or not he is in the running to become the next James Bond as he thinks it will ruin his chances.

The 39-year-old has been largely speculated as a contender to take up the role of the fictional spy when Daniel Craig steps down as the legendary spy, reported DigitalDigital Spy.Spy.

“You know, there’s a saying amongst us in the fraternity of acting, and in the fellowship of my peer group, that if you talk about it you’re automatically out of the race. So I can’t possibly comment on that one! If I mention it, it’s gone,” Hardy said.

The Mad Max star may not be saying too much about wherewh he stands with the franchise, but he did say that Christopher Nolan would be a “fantastic” director for the next instalment.

“Chris Nolan, what a fantastic director for a Bond movie. Because Daniel (Craig) is so good, and what (director Sam) Mendes and Barbara (Broccoli, producer) have done has been so impressive, that it would be a very hard re-imagination to follow after,” Hardy said.

“I wonder what the next installment of that franchise would become, and I think when you mention someone like Christopher Nolan, that’s a very powerful figure to bring into that world who could bring something new and create something profound again,” he said.
