Could Norton be swapped for Bond?
James Norton has addressed the rumours that he is in the running to play the next James Bond.
The House Of Guinness star has been the subject of worldwide speculation along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Tom Hardy, Josh O’Connor and Theo James.
However, he believes casting directors will "go younger."

"There is no conversation going on. It is as if someone has a bet on in Wolverhampton and it is nonsense and I have paparazzi outside my door. It is all speculation.”
When asked whether or not he’d take the opportunity, he admitted: "It is a difficult decision as it will change your life. I can walk down to the pub. I like my life right now."
