The heartthrob is vying for the iconic role that will earn him millions.
Amazon MGM Studios, which is producing the new James Bond film, wants 28-year-old Australian actor Jacob Elordi to take on the role. This was reported by the film portal World Of Reel, citing sources.
Amazon MGM Studios gained creative control over the James Bond franchise from Eon Productions in February 2025. Denis Villeneuve has been chosen as the director of the new film. Although casting for the role of Bond has not officially begun, the media is constantly speculating about who could play him in the new film. Previously, Deadline reported that Denis Villeneuve wants to choose the lead actor from among lesser-known British actors to have a "fresh face." At the same time, as World Of Reel writes, Villeneuve has not spoken against the choice of Elordi for this role. Casting for the new film will take place next year.
Elordi's first appearance in Hollywood was in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." He participated in the crowd scenes. Jacob Elordi then starred in the series "Euphoria," as well as in the films "Priscilla" and "Saltburn." He also plays one of the lead roles in the film "Frankenstein," which premiered in August; the film will be released in limited theaters in October and on Netflix in November.

Jacob leads a tumultuous personal life: from 2017 to the fall of 2018, he was in a relationship with actress Joey King, with whom he starred in the film "The Kissing Booth." After their breakup, he dated actress Zendaya, his co-star in the series "Euphoria." Rumors about their relationship circulated for a long time, but they were confirmed when paparazzi spotted Jacob and Zendaya kissing in New York. Their relationship was short-lived. From August 2020 to November 2021, he was in a relationship with model Kaia Gerber. Since May 2022, he has been dating blogger and model Olivia Jade, the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin.
