Aaron Taylor-Johnson Tipped to Be the New James Bond 007

Aaron Taylor-Johnson James Bond 007

Michael G. Wilson has hinted that the next James Bond will be in his “thirties.” The 80-year-old producer is in charge of casting Daniel Craig’s replacement as 007, along with his half-sister Barbara Broccoli, and has revealed that they are looking for stars like Aaron Taylor-Johnson to possibly take on the famous role.

At a BFI event commemorating the 60th anniversary of James Bond films, Michael stressed that casting for the latest Bond has yet to begin: “In the past, we attempted to look at younger people. However, visualizing it does not work.

“Remember, Bond is a seasoned veteran. He has some prior experience. He’s someone who’s been through the wars, so to speak. He’s most likely served in the SAS or something.

“He’s not some high school kid you can bring in and get things going. That’s why it works for someone in their thirties.”

Michael revealed a seduction scene from the 1963 film From Russia with Love, in which Sean Connery’s 007 discovers Soviet military clerk Tatiana Romanova (played by Daniela Bianchi) in his bed, which is always used to assess those aspiring to play the suave spy.

The producer elaborated: “We always use the same scene… and that’s the one in From Russia with Love, where Bond returns to his room after the assassination and begins taking off his shirt before going into the room to bathe.

“Then he hears something, grabs his gun, enters, and the girl is in his bed.”

Following Amazon’s acquisition of MGM, the company now owns the Bond franchise, and Michael stressed that 007 would continue as usual despite the changes behind the scenes.

He started to Deadline: “It’s a completely different world. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with Amazon. However, there will always be a Bond.”

Meanwhile, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is rumored to be the next James Bond, having filmed a version of the 007 film’s iconic gunshot opening.

The Sun reported that the Kick-Ass actor, 32, shot the sequence, with Eon Productions set to reveal the spy franchise’s new star in March 2023, after Daniel Craig, 54, left the Bond role.

The news comes after The Sun reported that Aaron had completed a “top secret screen test” for the role at Pinewood Studios.

According to a source in the film industry, “Aaron has so impressed the Bond producers that he has filmed one of the franchise’s famous gun barrel teaser scenes, which all Bond actors do. This action brings him one step closer to a contract.

“His unique blend of acting intensity and his impressive back catalog of action films impressed the brand’s bosses.”

Aaron, who has appeared in films such as Tenet and Bullet Train, is now a 4/5 favorite to be the next Bond.

Idris Elba was said to have walked away from talks to be the next Bond to pursue “his film franchise” earlier this year. With Idris out of the running, bookmakers named Henry Cavill, 39, and Rege-Jean Page, 34, the leading candidates.

However, it has been reported that producers want the new Bond to be under 40 and taller than 5 ft 10 inches (1.78 meters). In August, a source told the Daily Star that Eon Productions was looking for a “fresh-faced” replacement for Daniel.

They added that casting an actor in his “late 30s” will allow him to stay in the role for at least a decade if not three films. According to the source, filming on the next film could begin in the winter of 2023.

Richard Madden, 36, and James Norton, 37, are also said to be in the running for the role, with Taron Egerton, 33, John Boyega, 30, and 35-year-old Kit Harington ruled out due to the alleged 5ft 10 height requirement.

Jason Kelce Smashes Football Fan’s Phone

Jason Kelce Smashes College Football Fan's Phone

Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.

In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.

As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.

Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.

“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.

Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.

“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.

The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.

The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Shaun White, the Olympic snowboarding champion, already has an impressive medal tally, but his surprise proposal to Nina Dobrev deserves a gold medal.

On Wednesday, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram. Dobrev posted photographs of the two hugging under an arch of white roses and showing off her five-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

“RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé,” Dobrev said in the caption.

However, the photographs only tell half the tale, as Shaun devised an elaborate plan to surprise Dobrev with his proposal.

Shaun White’s Proposal To Nina Dobrev Was Romantic Gold

According to a Vogue interview published Wednesday, Shaun said he assembled a team of people from the couple’s inner circle and Vogue personnel to trick Dobrev into thinking she had been invited to an intimate dinner party with Anna Wintour.

White claimed that his publicist emailed Dobrev a forged invitation to the event, which was scheduled to take place at the Golden Swan in New York City.

Dobrev accepted the invitation, joking that Shaun made it “look so legitimate.”

He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to outfit her in Chanel for the event.

Dobrev said she recognized what was happening when she entered the venue and saw White standing beneath the flowery arch.

According to the publication, after Shaun proposed, the couple partied into the early morning hours with close friends and relatives.

“Best night of my life,” Shaun captioned his Instagram story on Wednesday.

The duo first became romantically involved in 2020, and they have since publicly recorded their relationship, globe vacations, and White’s Olympic farewell on social media.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie," has passed away at 79.

Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.

Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”

Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.

Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.

She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.

In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.

Teri Garr, a comedian

Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”

She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”

Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.

“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.

The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”

Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.

 A gift for spontaneous humor

Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.

She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.

Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.

During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
