James Bond Casting Rumors 2024: Every Report Revealed Including Who Did a Screen Test & More!

Lucien Laviscount – RUMOR

TMZ is citing an unconfirmed source that Emily in Paris‘ Lucien Laviscount has caught the eye of 007 producer Barbara Broccoli.

The source allegedly said, “Lucien ticks all of the boxes. 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.”

Apparently, there is a “sticking point” with him and that is that he participated in the 2011 season of Celebrity Big Brother.

The source added, “But, there is a sticking point, and that is Big Brother. Lucien appeared on the show at a time when his acting career was not as high-profile as it is now, but he was very popular then and has a fan base now which stretches generations. That is a dream for Barbara who is very taken with him.”
