"Poldark" star Aidan Turner might be the one replacing Daniel Craig as the next James Bond. Rumor mills are busy with the guessing game regarding the next Bond, but Turner's comments have only made the speculations more intense.
The hot Irish lead has not giving a straight answer, and whatever he has said seems to be too cryptic to figure out. Turner reportedly told to Mirror that he would rather not say anything because it seems like it is the Judas kiss, once it is commented on, it disappears. He said that it is hugely coveted and everyone should just see how it goes.
Turner is the favorite of bookies, as the names of the would-be Bonds include James Norton, Idris Elba, and Tom Hiddleston. "Divergent" star Theo James features among the top rankers as well, but as of now, the filmmakers have not finalized any name; however, given the popularity of the BBC's star, many are of the view that Turner would grab the role.
His sexy body and groovy looks make him a perfect fit for the title Bond, and more so, in the aftermath of the second season "Poldark" trailer going viral. For those who are not aware, the trailer of the topless actor has sent viewers into a meltdown of sorts and the video has grabbed more than 9 million views since its release on Friday. Turner's chiseled body is the talk of the town and his images have become a rage on the Internet.
As for Turner, he has admitted that it was his idea to take the top off and show off his six-pack, Huffington Post reported. He also acknowledged that it was probably a mistake but reasoned that Poldark was out in the field, sweating out as it was a hot day and thus, it would not have made sense with a top on. He clarified that the scene was never supposed to be sexually provocative.
