Tom Holland Overcomes Bond Rejection with Charismatic Beer Event!
JAMES BOND GOSIP ALERT!
Tom Holland, the 29-year-old heartthrob who's usually busy swinging from skyscrapers as Spider-Man, has shrugged off his James Bond rejection like a boss! The actor was spotted sipping on non-alcoholic beer at a Covent Garden event over the weekend, looking dashing in his blue and white striped shirt and chinos.
But let's get real – the real tea is that Tom Holland was heavily rumored to be the next James Bond, alongside Saltburn star Jacob Elordi and Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson. Fans of the 007 franchise were FUMING when they found out Tom might be taking on the iconic role! In fact, a poll conducted by The Scholarly Note (formerly Dailymail.com) revealed that an astonishing 72% of film-lovers would rather "someone else" play Bond – OUCH!
The backlash was REAL on X (formerly Twitter), with fans questioning whether Tom is truly Bond material. And honestly, who can blame them? I mean, we're used to seeing him as the adorable Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far from Home.
But it looks like Tom's moving on from the whole Bond fiasco – and focusing on his non-alcoholic beer brand BERO instead! The actor even got hands-on at the event, pouring pints and serving customers. Who knew he had a hidden talent?
Meanwhile, the search for the next James Bond is heating up! Bookmaker Coral has announced that Kick Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is now the odds-on favorite to land the role, followed closely by Dunkirk actor Jack Lowden and Netflix star Theo James. And if you're thinking of placing a bet, Henry Cavill is still in the running at 10-1.
In other Bond-related news, Amazon has announced that Denis Villeneuve – the mastermind behind Warner Bros.' two-part Dune adaptation – will be directing the next Bond film! The French-Canadian filmmaker will also serve as executive producer alongside Tanya Lapointe. This is going to be BIG, folks!
So, there you have it – Tom Holland's BERO launch event was a huge success (pun intended), and we can't wait to see what's next for the actor. Who do you think would make a great Bond? Let us know in the comments!
