Turner stated he knows "as much as you do" regarding the role and found it "weird" that even close friends and long-lost acquaintances inquire about it despite him having no information. Hollywood star George Clooney, who directed Turner in "The Boys In The Boat", endorsed him for the 007 role, citing his height, charm, and British nationality as ideal attributes. The search for the next James Bond has been ongoing since Daniel Craig concluded his tenure with "No Time To Die" in 2021, with Amazon MGM Studios now having creative control over the franchise. Other actors, including Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi, are also rumoured contenders, while Sir Idris Elba recently dismissed long-standing speculation about him taking the role as "never legit" and "not realistic" for a global audience.
