‘Emily in Paris’ Star Lucien Laviscount Reportedly in Working as Subsequent Bond

From Mr. Paris to Mr. Bond — that appears to be the trajectory Lucien Laviscount could be on … should you consider the experiences that he is within the operating as the following 007.

The British actor — well-known for his recurring function on Netflix’s ‘Emily in Paris’ — is alleged to have captured the eye of film producer Barbara Broccoli … who additionally holds the rights to the James Bond franchise, and who’s looking for a brand new agent to exchange Daniel Craig.

Based on the Each day Mail … his work in ‘EIP’ — the place he performs the principle character’s love curiosity, Alfie — is what landed him as a frontrunner for the job. He is been on for two seasons.

DM cites one purported insider as saying, “Lucien ticks all the containers. He’s a brilliant gifted actor, is extraordinarily good-looking and previously 18 months has received a lot of new followers since he joined Emily In Paris. Bond bosses are already saying how one can see him within the 007 tuxedo, how dapper and becoming to the function he’ll look.”

The factor which may damage him, apparently … his time on ‘Celeb Massive Brother,’ on which he competed in 2011. Based on this supply, the Bond producers suppose it is low forehead stuff not becoming of a Bond actor, despite the fact that they’re supposedly nonetheless fairly excessive on him basically.

The opposite attention-grabbing tidbit popping out of this report … Broccoli is alleged to have greenlit stunt work testing over at Pinewood Studios, the place they’ve shot a number of Bond content material. If true, that will imply they’re ramping as much as begin the following chapter post-Craig/’No Time to Die.’

There’d been rumblings that Idris Elba was being thought-about to play the following Bond, however frankly … he is too previous, and Lucien suits the invoice for what Broccoli and co. have just lately mentioned they need of their subsequent iteration of the character. A younger whippersnapper, that’s.

We’ll say this … Lucien’s positively obtained the look down. Good-looking, match and pure class. All the best stuff that makes Bond a world heartthrob.

Here is hoping the Bond honchos determine it out before later. The hole between Pierce Brosnan and Craig (4 years) was longer than any interval from earlier actors — which means, when one man left … the opposite slid in slightly seamlessly in a matter of a yr or two.
