British actor 'tipped to become next James Bond' after bosses narrow shortlist
A new name has entered the fray in the search for the next James Bond, with actor Callum Turner 'tipped' to take the role. The 35-year-old model-turned-actor – and fiancée of pop icon Dua Lipa – starred in the Apple TV+ drama Masters of the Air as Major 'Bucky' Egan. He also appeared in the Harry Potter spin-off films as Theseus Scamander in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and The Secrets of Dumbledore. Last month, it was confirmed that the Bond franchise had found its next director in Dune helmsman Denis Villeneuve. This led to speculation that his Lisan al Gaib Timothée Chalamet might take on the role – but the iconic spy's shoes remain unfilled for now. With Bond's Amazon bosses reportedly circling just a handful of names, British actor Callum may yet fit the bill. According to a report from Heart Bingo, it's believed that Callum would be Amazon bosses' best pick for the role. Sarah Caskie, Head of Brand for online website told The Daily Mail: 'With the rumour mill surrounding the next continuing to turn following the announcement Amazon will be taking the reins with the franchise, we've turned to public opinion to find the best fit for the 007 role. 'The masses have spoken on X and we've collated the data to find that Callum Turner is the people's choice to replace Daniel Craig, with 63% of posts concerning his potential role in the next film being positive, while 0% were negative.' As of April, Callum's odds for the role were at 20/1. Outside of his acting work, Callum may best be known as Dua Lipa's husband-to-be. The Levitating singer confirmed that she and boyfriend Callum had gotten engaged, months after flashing a chunky engagement ring on social media. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' she told British Vogue. 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' Should Callum take on the license to kill – or even if he misses out – bosses could do far worse than hit up Dua Lipa for the next theme tune. Callum joins a list of names which include current frontrunner Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton and Theo James. Last month, producers were said to be facing a choice between three big names. This list consisted of Babygirl's Harris Dickinson, Saltburn star Jacob Elordi and Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. However, with the position still vacant, BBC actor Scott Rose-Marsh has also emerged as a potential candidate. The 37-year-old thespian, who appeared in movies Wolves of War and Code of Silence, is currently eighth-favourite for the part, according to Oddschecker. This makes him something of an underdog in the fight, especially when compared to bigger names like Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy. The search for the next Bond follows the news that Dune director Denis will helm the franchise's next instalment. More Trending 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released soon after the news broke. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. He described the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' Got a story?

Dua Lipa opens up about wedding plans and kids post-engagement with Callum Turner: ‘I love kids, but…'
Pop icon Dua Lipa has confirmed the news that fans have been speculating about for months — she's officially engaged to British actor Callum Turner. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' the 29-year-old singer told British Vogue in a new interview. 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' The couple has been together for over a year and a half. Callum, 35, is best known for his roles in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), Masters of the Air, and his BAFTA-nominated performance in The Capture. Despite their packed schedules — Dua with a world tour, he with ongoing shoots — the two have made a rule: they won't go longer than two and a half weeks apart. When her tour stretched to three weeks, it was, she admits, 'very hard.' A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) Still, marriage plans aren't taking centre stage just yet. 'As for the wedding: no plans yet,' she says. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' What grounds them, despite the fame and frenzy, are simple routines. At home, they cook together and Dua's roast dinners have a cult following among friends; when they travel, it's all about record stores and discovering new restaurants. As for children? It's on the horizon, but not planned out. 'I'd love to have kids one day,' she shares. 'But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time — how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' For now, Dua seems perfectly content soaking in the joy of being engaged, and being in love with her best friend.
