Show’s stars are tipped for roles in Bond
THE two stars of Bodyguard are tipped for huge success with bookies slashing the odds on them appearing in an upcoming James Bond movie.
Richard Madden is now 12/1 with William Hill to follow on from Daniel Craig as 007, while Keeley Hawes is 8/1 to land a role in the film franchise.
Keeley is shooting three new dramas, and will return to the BBC alongside Timothy Spall next year in Summer of Rockets, and period drama Mrs Wilson.
The 42-year-old will also appear in Channel 4 thriller Jerusalem next year.
Richard, 32, will play Elton John’s manager John Reid in the upcoming biopic of the singer, Rocketman.
Meanwhile, Keeley has suggested the pair could reunite in the Christmas special of Strictly Come Dancing.
Responding to a fan who requested the pair to dance together for the show, she said: “I don’t see why not.”
