Has the brand new James Bond simply been revealed? A clue actually suggests so, with a brand new TV sequence starring Completely satisfied Valley and Grantchester actor James Norton
having probably simply given the sport away. This intriguing perception comes courtesy of the Speak Of The Townsends podcast, with hosts Benedict and Hannah Townsend recognizing one thing attention-grabbing in Norton’s newest drama sequence, Enjoying Good: he’s not sporting a tuxedo.
Now, this may appear odd, however give us a second. It’s now well-known that any actor who indicators a contract to play James Bond just isn’t allowed to put on a tuxedo in another mission, thus holding the picture of 007 intact. In Enjoying Good, which finds Norton starring as a father who discovers his son was swapped with one other little one at start, the actor attends a elaborate soirée…and is the one man not sporting a tux. As Benedict Townsend explains:
“James Norton is within the present and he has lengthy been rumoured to be the following James Bond. Now, each James Bond has of their contract they can not put on a tuxedo in another media whereas they’re James Bond.
There’s a scene within the third episode of Enjoying Good the place they’re at a gala and each single man in that room is sporting a tuxedo besides James Norton, who was sporting an everyday swimsuit.”
Is James Norton the New 007? Or Is This Only a Coincidence?
It’s actually intriguing, and whereas the host does go on to confess that this might probably simply be a part of the Enjoying Good story, because the “character is supposed to be humbled… so it might simply be some type of character-related wardrobe,” in lieu of any official bulletins concerning the following 007, we have now to search out the enjoyable the place we will. “Nevertheless it may very well be that he’s perhaps going to be the following James Bond,” co-host Hannah Townsend stated, with Benedict including…
“He may need signed the contracts already and could be precluded from sporting a tux. It’s solely after you’ve signed the contract. So Daniel Craig can put on a tux now in a film. However you didn’t see him in a tux all the time he performed James Bond.”
