Slow Horses star Jack Lowden calls Bond speculation flattering

Jack Lowden won't confirm Bond audition but calls speculation flattering.

Slow Horses star Jack Lowden has responded to Bond speculation, calling it flattering. The 36-year-old won't confirm or deny whether he's auditioning.

Callum Turner and Josh O'Connor are also reportedly in the running. Gary Oldman said last month that a decision has been made but not announced.

Oldman later clarified he'd only heard this as rumour and doesn't know who producers picked. Denis Villeneuve will direct the next Bond film, with Amy Pascal producing.
