Callum Turner 'tipped to become next James Bond' as bosses reportedly narrow down shortlist to three names
The actor, 35, may be from a very humble background - being raised on an estate in London - but it seems he could be about to make his big break as the next 007.
According to new odds from Heart Bingo, it's thought that Callum is being lined up as the public's favourite.
And the star seems to be receiving huge praise for being the next in line.
Sarah Caskie, Head Of Brand for the online website, said: 'With the rumour mill surrounding the next continuing to turn following the announcement Amazon will be taking the reins with the franchise, we've turned to public opinion to find the best fit for the 007 role.
'The masses have spoken on X and we've collated the data to find that Callum Turner is the people's choice to replace Daniel Craig, with 63 per cent of posts concerning his potential role in the next film being positive, while zero per cent were negative.'
It comes after James Bond bosses have reportedly narrowed down their shortlist to just three names after a flurry of speculation.
It is believed that Saltburn star Jacob Elordi, Spider-Man's Tom Holland and Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson are at the top of Amazon's wish list, according to Variety.
Inside sources reportedly told the publication that the studio and producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30.
And while Jacob, 28, is Australian, he is still believed to be in the running as fellow Aussie actor George Lazenby has previously played Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Amazon, Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Harris Dickinson for comment.
Amazon declined to comment when contacted by Variety.

Judas Priest review – thrash, hellfire, dazzling guitar … Ozzy would have loved it
The day before this gig was the saddest in heavy metal history. With the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the genre lost its irrepressible everyman Prince of Darkness, and all the warmth, charm and folly that made him relatable to so many. But with this 35th anniversary tour for their Painkiller album, Judas Priest provide some therapy. For years, the band have used Black Sabbath's War Pigs as a walk-on song and the moment the tape kicks in, an impassioned and cathartic mass singalong sweeps across the amphitheatre. Any sense that this might be a sombre do is squashed in seconds. 'Hello, metal maniacs!' says singer Rob Halford, wearing a bedazzled leather trenchcoat and aviator sunglasses. Priest are a one-off who helped define metal's image as well as its sound, going all in on the most exaggerated parts – the denim, leather, studs and no shortage of demonic motifs – while retaining street cred for more than 50 years. With the anthemic recent song Gates of Hell, eternal damnation has never sounded so inviting. The Serpent and the King – another from last year's Invincible Shield album – is also exhilarating: a full-on burst of thrash driven by Scott Travis's impeccable double-bass drum style. On the likes of Hell Patrol, the septuagenarian Halford can still nail the inexplicable, guttural shrieks. Guitarist Richie Faulkner came close to death in 2021 after a severe aortic rupture on stage: he survived 10 hours of emergency open-heart surgery where parts of his chest were replaced with mechanical components. With gurns aplenty, Halford admires one of Faulkner's dazzling lead breaks on One Shot at Glory, hovering his tattooed head around the fretboard. 'It's been tough, the last 24-hours, but he would want us to be together doing this, having a good time. We love you, Ozzy,' Halford says to huge cheers, introducing Giants in the Sky. This is their ode to rock's fallen greats, as the faces of Lemmy, Chris Cornell, Christine McVie, and now Ozzy – among others – are flashed on screen to a soundtrack of hefty riffs. That Judas Priest are not only performing at an admirable level but still making stellar new music in their sixth decade, further cements their place alongside Sabbath on the Mount Rushmore of metal gods.

I feel guilty!' Last month, Olly candidly confessed he broke down in tears after he was forced to leave her just two days after her birth. He admitted to the emotional toll the decision had on him months after when he realised he had never got to know his daughter as a baby. Speaking with new dad Mark Wright on their Heart Breakfast show, Olly confessed: 'It was really hard for me as I had to leave two days after the baby was born to go on tour with Take That.' He explained: 'I didn't really process it at the time and a few months later me and Amelia were chatting and I just broke down in tears as I never got a chance to actually get to know this little baby.' Supporting his pal amid his decision to leave his family for work commitments, Mark added: 'But you were doing it all for her future.' While touring with Take That, Olly raced home to Essex after gigs to spend time with Amelia and Madison. In the exclusive clip obtained my MailOnline last April, Olly explained: 'But this week I've been home. 'I've done the nappies, I've done the late nights and I can't wait to stay on tour. 'I'm joking! Honestly, she is truly awesome. 'I never thought I'd be a dad, so I can't quite believe it. Pointing to his manhood, Olly shouted: 'It works! And genuinely I'm super, super proud. And to be on this tour, it's just topped it off. So what an amazing time for me right now.'
