Generally you simply know you’re not minimize out for a job, a gig, or within the case of an actor, a task. For 2025 TV star Luke Hemsworth, that bridge too far is outwardly taking part in 007. Nonetheless, I feel that The Terminal Checklist: Darkish Wolf actor is being a bit too laborious on himself for the explanation why he thinks he’s not minimize out to put on this legendary tuxedo.
As he sat down for an interview on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Dwell, the Westworld vet was current when Darkish Wolf co-star Tom Hopper was requested about how he feels about discuss tipping him as a possible James Bond. I’m wondering if Hopper stored his standing as a earlier Bond odds frontrunner in thoughts, as he offered this assertion:
The factor is, James Bond for any British actor is like the top aim, , so to even be in an inventory to be thought-about, I discover that an honor in itself actually, so yeah. If the decision ever comes, I will have a dialog.
Oh, if that doesn’t sound like Henry Cavill’s 2022 James Bond feedback, I don’t know what does. The Umbrella Academy alum is considerably on the identical taking part in subject as Luke Hemsworth, nonetheless, as each males are respectively 40 and 44 on the time of this writing. Earlier rumors had been suggesting that Bond 26 is in search of a “thirty one thing” 007, so that may disqualify each males – however simply barely.
Nonetheless that’s not the place the eldest Hemsworth brother counted himself out for any shaken not stirred drinks on digicam. Leaping in proper as Tom Hopper completed his bit, Luke Hemsworth pulled the full reverse of taking pictures one’s shot with these remarks:
They have not requested me. … No. They’re like, ‘James Bond’s not 5’9,” dude.’
I do know it’s imagined to be enjoyable, self-deprecating discuss, however I feel Mr. Hemsworth is counting himself out for the mistaken motive. In spite of everything, if you happen to lookup Daniel Craig’s peak on-line, you’ll discover 5’10” because the generally reported determine. Whereas that’s the shortest of the official 007 appearing legacy, it’s not too removed from the tallest actor’s stature – as Sean Connery’s James Bond motion pictures tower not solely in legacy, but additionally by means of the person’s 6’2” peak.
Nonetheless, as host Andy Cohen additional stoked the dialog, he identified the place Luke stands within the Hemsworth Brothers’ peak rankings. That, after all, led this Hemsworth to confess additional comedic defeat, acknowledging that he’s the shortest of his three brothers.
The Terminal Checklist: Darkish Wolf co-star Tom Hopper, then again, could be the tallest potential actor to play the position, as he stands at 6’5″. Maybe it is best to go away this example the place it’s earlier than this turns into an official recreation of peak comparisons. If you wish to see Hopper and Hemsworth increasing the universe of Jack Carr’s greatest promoting thrillers, you possibly can binge this prequel spinoff on August twenty seventh – with Season 1 of The Terminal Checklist presently being obtainable for streaming solely on Prime Video.
