Peaky Blinders star Barry Keoghan has poured cold water on speculation linking him to the coveted role of James Bond, stating he does not believe he "fits the criteria" for the iconic British spy.
Instead, the 33-year-old actor, whose star has risen rapidly, expressed a clear preference for portraying a villain. He told Radio Times: "I’d rather come in and do the villain. The man teasing Bond, that’s more me." Keoghan elaborated that while it was "nice to see your name go up there," the role of 007 inherently carries "a lot of weight and pressure."
