‘Emily in Paris’ Star Lucien Laviscount Reportedly in Running as Next Bond

From Mr. Paris to Mr. Bond — that appears to be the trajectory Lucien Laviscount could be on … in the event you imagine the studies that he is within the working as the following 007.

The British actor — well-known for his recurring function on Netflix’s ‘Emily in Paris’ — is alleged to have captured the eye of film producer Barbara Broccoli … who additionally holds the rights to the James Bond franchise, and who’s searching for a brand new agent to exchange Daniel Craig.

According to the Daily Mail … his work in ‘EIP’ — the place he performs the primary character’s love curiosity, Alfie — is what landed him as a frontrunner for the job. He’s been on for two seasons.

DM cites one purported insider as saying, “Lucien ticks the entire bins. He is a brilliant proficient actor, is extraordinarily good-looking and previously 18 months has received numerous new followers since he joined Emily In Paris. Bond bosses are already saying how one can see him within the 007 tuxedo, how dapper and becoming to the function he’ll look.”

The factor which may damage him, apparently … his time on ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ on which he competed in 2011. According to this supply, the Bond producers suppose it is low forehead stuff not becoming of a Bond actor, despite the fact that they’re supposedly nonetheless fairly excessive on him generally.

The different attention-grabbing tidbit popping out of this report … Broccoli is alleged to have greenlit stunt work testing over at Pinewood Studios, the place they’ve shot loads of Bond content material. If true, that will imply they’re ramping as much as begin the following chapter post-Craig/’No Time to Die.’

There’d been rumblings that Idris Elba was being thought-about to play the following Bond, however frankly … he is too outdated, and Lucien matches the invoice for what Broccoli and co. have just lately mentioned they need of their subsequent iteration of the character. A younger whippersnapper, that’s.

We’ll say this … Lucien’s undoubtedly received the look down. Handsome, match and pure magnificence. All the best stuff that makes Bond a global heartthrob.

Here’s hoping the Bond honchos determine it out prior to later. The hole between Pierce Brosnan and Craig (4 years) was longer than any interval from earlier actors — that means, when one man left … the opposite slid in fairly seamlessly in a matter of a 12 months or two.
