'Listen, there's speculation at the minute,' Holland said when Ramsey joked about the potential of playing Bond. 'We'll keep it to a minimum for now.'
'You think?' Ramsey quipped. 'Yeah, we'll get there one day,' Holland replied.
'Seriously, can you imagine what's going to happen to your life if you do?' Ramsay asked. 'You'd love the opportunity, right?'
'I mean, every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry,' Holland responded. 'I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive, you know? I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.'
Holland's name is one of many that's been thrown around since Daniel Craig stepped back from the spy role after 2021's No Time To Die. There has been buzz that Amazon MGM Studios, which nows helms the Bond franchise, wants to cast a younger actor this time around. Variety reported that the studio and the producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30, with Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson at the top of the list. Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve will direct the next 007 movie while Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will pen the screenplay.
Holland has two upcoming films already scheduled. He's currently shooting Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which hits theaters May 1, 2026, and will appear in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, out on July 17, 2026.

Britain's Royal Mail celebrates Monty Python with stamps featuring iconic sketches and characters
LONDON (AP) — And now for something completely different: Britain's Royal Mail has issued stamps celebrating the absurdist comedy of Monty Python. The 10-stamp series announced on Thursday celebrates some of the troupe's most iconic characters and catchphrases, from 'Nudge, nudge' to 'The Lumberjack Song.' Six stamps depict scenes from the sketch-comedy TV series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' including 'The Spanish Inquisition,' 'The Ministry of Silly Walks," 'Dead Parrot' and 'The Nude Organist.' Another four mark the 50th anniversary of the cult classic 1975 film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' including one showing the limb-losing Black Knight insisting, ''Tis but a scratch.' The stamps can be pre-ordered from Thursday and go on sale Aug. 14. Made up of Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman, Monty Python brought a unique blend of satire, surrealism and silliness to British TV screens in a series that ran from 1969 to 1974. The troupe also made several feature films, including 'And Now for Something Completely Different,' 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' and 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.' David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs, said the collection 'honors a body of work that has shaped the comedic landscape for nearly six decades.' Palin said he was 'very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!' The group largely disbanded in the 1980s, and Chapman died of cancer in 1989. The five surviving Pythons reunited in 2014 for a string of live stage shows. Jones died in 2020 from a rare form of dementia.

Oasis gave most ‘ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years
Oasis provided the most 'ground-shaking' performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium when they last played there in 2009, according to analysis of seismic data. The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year – when measuring the peak earthshaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some 4km from the venue. At peak power of 215.06Kw, the Oasis gig was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87Kw. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend – meaning there could be another 'shakermaker'. The power output is not related to the volume of the band or the crowd, rather it is the movement of fans jumping and dancing in time to the music, with the height of the jumping and weight of the crowd also potential factors. It means the current cohort of Oasis fans' seismic output could perhaps be compared to those of previous years. BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said: 'In 2009, seismic signals generated by Oasis fans were consistent with a crowd energy of 215kW at its peak – enough to power around 30 of the scooters featured on the iconic Be Here Now album cover. 'Our network of sensors around the country is sensitive enough to pick up ground movement from a source miles away that may not be detectable to humans – and precise enough to register exact timestamps for when the events occur. 'The peak energy reading was recorded around 8.30pm on that June evening back in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and performed Rock 'N' Roll Star, which couldn't be more fitting in terms of topping our seismic music chart.' The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. Mr Harrison added: 'In this instance we are only looking back over 20 years, however geological processes occur over vast time scales that can be difficult for humans to comprehend. 'Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research in trying to understand and mitigate the seismic risk around the country.' Ahead of the sold-out gigs at Murrayfield, which begin on Friday, Mr Harrison said it is 'certainly possible' they could top the previous gig's output in 2009, adding: 'We'll just have to wait and see.' He said: 'The main contributing factors are going to be how energetic the crowd is. 'If they're jumping along with the music, how high or how fast are they jumping?'

Titanic: Why Matthew McConaughey Lost Role to Leonardo DiCaprio Revealed
Before Leonardo DiCaprio's starring role in Titanic, the iconic James Cameron movie almost starred another high-profile Hollywood legend — Matthew McConaughey. Why did Matthew McConaughey lose out on his role in Titanic? In a recent report from Puck discussing the late Avatar and Titanic producer Jon Landau's posthumous memoir The Bigger Picture, one specific anecdote about McConaughey losing out on the Titanic role is mentioned. According to Landau, the team behind Titanic brought in McConaughey to do a scene with actress Kate Winslet. The scene itself acted as a chemistry test of sorts, and while Winslet seemed to like McConaughey, things didn't go so well with director James Cameron. According to Landau, McConaughey did the scene in his typical southern drawl, to which Cameron asked to 'try it a different way.' McConaughey reportedly replied with 'No. That was pretty good. Thanks.' Landau's book then notes that 'that was it for McConaughey.' Of course, by the time Titanic had come out, McConaughey was already a star, having appeared in films like Dazed and Confused, Angels in the Outfield, Glory Daze, and would have appearances in Contact and Amistad in the same year. However, his star power was no match for the likes of Cameron, who clearly wasn't a fan of McConaughey's resistance to direction.
