Aaron Taylor-Johnson was widely rumored to be the next James Bond, but like many other candidates, it seems his age could prevent him from stepping into the part.

Pierce Brosnan has given him a nod of approval, stating he has the “talent and the charisma,” and the actor is also a global ambassador for Omega, the watch brand featured in the franchise.

Rumours reached a new height in early 2024, and the actor himself has said he finds it a “charming and wonderful” compliment that people think of him in the role.
