Taron Egerton Says He’s Not The “Right Choice” For The Next James Bond, And His Reason Is Interesting
This post contains discussion of body image issues.
Taron Egerton: suave guy. You’ve seen him play a spy of sorts in the Kingsman films; he definitely knows his way around espionage.
Carlo Paloni / BAFTA via Getty ImagesNot so fast, says Taron. The actor recently gave an interview to the Telegraph (via People), and he threw a 007-sized bucket of cold water on the rumors that he’d even be interested in stepping into Daniel Craig’s shoes.
Jeff Spicer / Getty Images“I don’t think I’m the right choice,” Taron explained — and he went on to suggest that his reasoning has to do with his own body image.
David M. Benett / Getty Images for Netflix“You have to be consistently statuesque to be that guy,” he said. “And that’s something that I am still striving for. I’ve always struggled with my weight.”
Rowben Lantion / BAFTA via Getty ImagesNow, let’s keep it real — the idea that you have to look a certain way to play James Bond is, on its face, ridiculous. I’m not really sure anyone has ever watched a James Bond film and asked themselves, “Yes, but how much does he weigh?” It’s just not a thing, at all.
Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images for BAFTATo be fair, he also had other, less absurd reasons for not wanting to take on the role. Taron also explained that being Bond “is a bit like being a brand ambassador as well as being an actor.”
Mike Marsland / Getty Images / WireImage“And that could be really fun in microcosm, but I’m sure I read that [producer] Barbara Broccoli said that it’s a 15-year commitment,” he said.
Stuart C. Wilson / Getty ImagesBut, like, let’s not get ahead of ourselves — because Taron himself says he’s not even in the running for the role, at this point at least. “It’s sort of irrelevant how I feel about it, anyway, because I can tell you there have been zero phone calls,” he said.
