'It would be hard to say no' Jonathan Bailey 'not sure' about playing James Bond
Jonathan Bailey would find it "hard to say no" if he was asked to be the next James Bond.
The Bridgerton actor, 37, is one of several stars to have been linked to the part of the suave spy, after Daniel Craig previously bowed out of the role in 2021 movie No Time To Die, but Jonathan is "not sure" if he would say yes to the massive role.
When asked on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Radio 2 if he would "want" to be Bond, he said: "I don't ... I am not sure ... I don't know.
"I really, honestly, I mean ... it would be hard to say no."
However, the Wicked and Wicked: For Good actor - who plays Prince Fiyero Tigelaar in the two-part movie musical - believes the next Bond movie will be "exciting" whoever is in the lead role.
He added: "But I know that it's going to be exciting whatever they do."
Jonathan also admitted he was "flattered" to be asked whether he would be up for appearing as 007.
After radio host Scott Mills asked Jonathan about the part, he replied: "I mean, that's an amazingly flattering ask.
"I could imagine you as James Bond, Scott."
Scott replied: "Well swerved, because that's not true."
If Jonathan does become the new James Bond, then it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see the spy on horseback in the next movie.
That's after the star previously formed such a bond with a horse called Jack, who he rode in Bridgerton, he requested the equine was cast in Wicked.
In a clip posted to Wicked's TikTok account, Jonathan said in a voiceover as he was shown with Jack: "I went around to see [director] Jon M. Chu before we started filming, and I said to him, I said, 'I think I know who the horse is.'
"And he was like, 'What do you mean?'
"It's Jack, the horse that I'd ridden in Bridgerton, who I had an amazing relationship with.
"People say, don't work with kids and animals. But if it's Jack, I'd say, 'Take the job. He's a legend.' "

Influencer ‘almost died' undergoing Brazilian butt lift
A popular OnlyFans creator has detailed her terrifying experience after a Brazilian butt lift procedure in Turkey left her 'vomiting blood'. Kayla Jade, an Australian influencer with 2.2 million TikTok followers, said she had always struggled with body image issues and heard people can undergo cheaper cosmetic surgery in Turkey. 'I didn't have a lot of money at the time, and I had heard so many people were going to get surgeries in Turkey – and that they were really good at what they did,' she said. The mother-of-two detailed her experience to her TikTok followers earlier this month, telling them she 'almost died' from the procedure. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

A Brazillian butt lift, also known as a BBL, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from a person's hips or abdomen and injecting it back into a person's butt, giving a curvier appearance. Kayla Jade told her followers she was awake throughout the surgery and recalled 'feeling everything' while lying 'paralysed' on the operating table. 'There was nothing I could do. I was just lying there in my head screaming, but I could just feel all the stuff that was happening,' she said. Following the procedure, she began vomiting blood and experienced immense pain. OnlyFans star Kayla Jade said her Turkey surgery experience was a 'crazy situation'. Credit: Instagram / TheWest The post-op care was equally horrifying, with Kayla claiming that she was placed on her back immediately following the procedure and was asked to vacate the hospital bed while still in and out of consciousness. Brazilian butt lift patients are advised to lie on their stomach for at least six weeks post-op to allow the area to heal. She underwent a revision surgery back in Australia a year later as she wasn't happy with the results. 'They'd literally taken chunks out of my back, so the Australian doctor went and smoothed everything over.' Kayla posted her experience to spread awareness of the dangers of overseas cosmetic procedures. 'Please don't cheapen out like what I did and end up in some crazy situation,' she warned followers.

What is 'perpetual stew' and is it safe to eat?
Would you eat a stew that has been cooking for days, weeks or even months? "Perpetual stew", also referred to as "forever soup" and "hunter's pot" online, cooks continuously for extended periods while being topped up with new ingredients. The dish has been popping up on social media, which may have you wondering where it came from and whether it is safe to eat. Annie Rauwerda, a New York-based social media creator, started cooking a perpetual stew in June 2023 and kept it going for two months. She documented the process on TikTok and hosted "stew parties" in a neighbourhood park, inviting strangers to bring an ingredient to add to the crockpot in exchange for a bowl of soup. Years on, the dish is still popular on the platform, with over 1.8 million searches for "perpetual soup" on TikTok in recent weeks. Dr Garritt Van Dyk, a food historian at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, understands its appeal. "It's not just about perpetual soup, it's about community," he says. "During a time when society is increasingly atomised … [when] people are all about rugged individualism and competing and getting ahead, and instead someone's just saying, 'hey, let's have some stew.'" On TikTok, you'll find enthusiasts sharing the process of building a perpetual stew, posting regular updates and asking viewers what ingredients to add next. Often scraps that may have otherwise been thrown away are added to the dish. "For anyone who's going through tough times and looking to economise … the thrift of it is you're not throwing anything away," Dr Van Dyk says. Perpetual stew is thought have been around since medieval times. Dr Van Dyk describes it as a humble peasant dish that would provide sustenance in the leaner times. "It's not the kind of thing that will show up in a royal cookbook," he says. He points to other cultures that have their own version of a continuously cooking or evolving dish. For example, Mexican mole is a cooked sauce made of dried chillies, spices, and chocolate. It can be cooked continuously for extended periods with new ingredients being added, and the "old" mole can be used as a base to make 'new' mole. The idea of a stew that cooks for weeks on end may have you wondering about food poisoning. Professor Julian Cox, a food microbiologist at the University of NSW in Sydney, says the dish can be safe if prepared correctly. Cooking a perpetual stew — or other food — until it's steaming hot and above 75 degrees Celsius is recommended for food safety. When it comes to storing food, the "danger zone" is between 5-60C. At these temperatures, bacteria that can cause food poisoning can grow to unsafe levels. "Above 60C … any microorganisms that might be present we're actually killing off, typically," Professor Cox says.
