‘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 may be on … if you think the reports that he’s in the running as the next 007.

The British star — popular for his repeating function on Netflix’s ‘Emily in Paris’ — is stated to have actually recorded the attention of motion picture manufacturer Barbara Broccoli … who likewise holds the rights to the James Bond franchise, and who’s in search of a brand-new representative to change Daniel Craig.

According to the Daily Mail … his work in ‘EIP’ — where he plays the primary character’s love interest, Alfie — is what landed him as a frontrunner for the task. He’s been on for 2 seasons.

DM points out one supposed expert as stating, “Lucien ticks all of the boxes. He is a super talented actor, is extremely handsome and in the past 18 months has won lots of new fans since he joined Emily In Paris. Bond bosses are already saying how you can see him in the 007 tuxedo, how dapper and fitting to the role he will look.”

The thing that may injure him, obviously … his time on ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ on which he completed in 2011. According to this source, the Bond manufacturers believe it’s low eyebrow things not fitting of a Bond star, although they’re apparently still quite high up on him in basic.

The other intriguing bit coming out of this report … Broccoli is stated to have actually greenlit stunt work screening over at Pinewood Studios, where they have actually shot a great deal of Bond material. If real, that would suggest they’re increase to begin the next chapter post-Craig/’No Time to Die.’

There’d been rumblings that Idris Elba was being considered to play the next Bond, however honestly … he’s too old, and Lucien fits the costs for what Broccoli and co. have actually just recently stated they desire in their next model of the character. A young whippersnapper, that is.

We’ll state this … Lucien’s absolutely got the appearance down. Handsome, fit and natural beauty. All the best things that makes Bond a global sweetheart.

Here’s hoping the Bond honchos figure it out quicker than later on. The space in between Pierce Brosnan and Craig (4 years) was longer than any duration from previous stars — significance, when one person left … the other moved in rather flawlessly in a matter of a year or more.
