The James Bond franchise is once again in the spotlight. 28-year-old actress and Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney is likely to become the new girl for agent 007. Meanwhile, the actress is also preparing to launch her own lingerie line, and investments from Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez have only fueled interest in her upcoming role.
Speculation that Sweeney may play possibly the biggest role of her life intensified after her attendance at Bezos and Sanchez's lavish wedding in Italy this June. According to insiders, the newlyweds invested in her upcoming lingerie collection, which sparked a flurry of speculation about the actress's close ties with the production team at Amazon MGM, now managed by Jeff.
Sweeney herself first commented on the rumors in an interview with Variety magazine. When asked directly about a possible role in the Bond franchise, she only replied cautiously: "I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t know all the rumors about Bond, but I have always been a big fan of this franchise, and I’m curious and excited to see what they do with it."
When journalists asked the actress if she was interested in the project at all, Sweeney showed modesty: "It depends on the script. I think it would be more interesting for me to play James Bond." Earlier this year, there were talks that Amazon was considering reimagining the iconic franchise, but those plans were temporarily shelved. Nevertheless, industry sources note: "Sydney is the top name on the list of contenders for the Bond girl role." Director Denis Villeneuve (who will direct the next Bond film) holds the actress in high regard, calling her extremely talented and possessing an appeal to the younger generation, which is important for attracting a new audience.
Sydney Sweeney is indeed in the spotlight today. In the summer, she became one of the most talked-about celebrities at Bezos and Sanchez's wedding in Italy, which was attended by Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, and Kim Kardashian. Although the actress was not close to the newlyweds, her visit raised many questions and speculations. According to Page Six, this visit was a sign of attention to some significant figures in the industry. Additionally, the actress is actively working on her own lingerie line, which, according to Us Weekly sources, has been invested in by Jeff and Lauren.
