The Jonathan Ross Show recently featured an exciting discussion about the possibility of Luke Evans becoming the next James Bond. The chat show, known for its entertaining and candid interviews, had Luke Evans as a guest, discussing various topics including his potential role as the famous British spy.
During the show, Luke Evans mentioned the significance of the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, stating that it made him realize an important change in the James Bond franchise. He pointed out that the iconic spy is no longer referred to as being on “Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Instead, James Bond is now a part of “his Majesty’s Secret Service,” shifting the focus to the new monarch.
The conversation then turned to the speculation surrounding the future casting of James Bond. Luke Evans, along with many other actors, is considered a strong candidate for the coveted role. The audience and fans of the show were delighted to hear that Luke Evans is still under consideration for the role. Although no definitive information was shared, Luke Evans acknowledged that he, like the audience, is eager to find out who will be the next James Bond.
Keeping the audience engaged, Jonathan Ross asked Luke Evans if he had discussed the possibility of becoming Bond with anyone in the industry. Luke Evans playfully responded that he knew as much as the audience did, teasing that even if he had information, it would be the best-kept secret. He added that people in the industry often talk about different actors being considered, creating an air of excitement and anticipation.
Reflecting on his remarkable journey from earning £600 per week in the West End to being in contention for an iconic role like James Bond, Luke Evans expressed gratitude for his career progression. The audience showed their support and admiration with applause, highlighting the enthusiasm surrounding the potential casting.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Jonathan Ross suggested that if Luke Evans were to become Bond, he would be the first Bond actor who could also sing his own theme song. Playing along with the idea, Ross handed Evans a microphone and encouraged him to perform a brief rendition of a song. Evans’s Welsh background was highlighted, and a suggestion was made for a Tom Jones classic, who is also a fellow Welshman.
Luke Evans didn’t sing a full song, but he did offer a teaser of his vocal abilities, leaving the audience wanting more. The segment ended with applause and excitement, further fueling speculation about his potential as the next James Bond.
