Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount tipped to be the new James Bond

The hunt for a replacement James Bond for Daniel Craig is hotting up - with Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount reportedly being considered for the iconic role. Craig's turn as 007 came to an end when he was killed off in last year's blockbuster No Time To Die, and a number of top actors are being considered for the role when filming gets underway in the next couple of years.

According to the Daily Mail, Laviscount, 30, has caught the attention of the franchise’s producer Barbara Broccoli, who is searching for the next star after Craig’s 15-year tenure. "Lucien ticks all of the boxes," a source told the Mail.

"He is a super talented actor, is extremely handsome and in the past 18 months has won lots of new fans since he joined Emily In Paris. Bond bosses are already saying how you can see him in the 007 tuxedo, how dapper and fitting to the role he will look."
