Daniel Craig looks stylish in a tweed blazer as he joins South Korean band Tomorrow X Together at Dior Homme show during Paris Fashion Week
Daniel Craig looked stylish as he joined South Korean band Tomorrow X Together at the Dior Homme show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday. The actor, 57, wore an oversized tweed blazer with a blue striped shirt and a red tie layered underneath. He completed his outfit with a pair of dark jeans and dressed his look down with chunky white trainers. Daniel posed for photos at the brand's Spring-Summer 2026 collection by Tomorrow X Together. The band, formed of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai, released their first single via Big Hit Music in 2019. Daniel, who finished his time as James Bond with the 2021 film No Time To Die, is looking world's away from 007 with his much longer hair. The actor - who was a widely popular Bond - enjoyed a five-film stint with the franchise, beginning with the 2006 movie Casino Royale. During his days as 007 he sported a more rugged look than he does now, with Craig often seen opting for a longer hairstyle at events post-Bond. Fans of the franchise are speculating over who will replace Daniel as the spy. The iconic role remains open to offers some four years after Daniel ditched the tuxedo, hung up the Walther PP and handed over the keys to his beloved Aston Martin. And with Amazon having bought the rights to Britain's longest running film franchise - the next film will be its 26th - the debate around who will seize the baton and become Bond number seven remains hotter than ever. To date, the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, Regé-Jean Page, Richard Madden and Idris Elba have been touted as potential candidates. Amazon recently took over 'creative control' of the much-loved franchise and are said to be fast-tracking the new film, with Hollywood producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal hired to usher in a new era. Bookmaker William Hill sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson the most likely to take over at odds of 11/8, while Theo James sits at 7/2. During his days as 007 he sported a more rugged look than he does now, with Craig often seen opting for a longer hairstyle at events post-Bond (pictured in 2012 Bond movie, Skyfall) Right behind Aaron Pierre and Henry Cavill is Happy Valley actor James Norton, and chasing his tail is Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden. Earlier this month, betting companies released their odds for the next James Bond villain - with one unexpected household name topping the list. The favourite was then none other than Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, who sits at the top of OLBG's odds at 9/2. The Irish actor - best known for playing Thomas Shelby in the hit BBC show - had previously been touted for the part of Bond but played down speculation, telling Deadline: 'I think I'm a bit old for that.' Also in the running to play the Bond bad guy are American actor Paul Giamatti (11/2), The Boogeyman star David Dastmalchian (13/2), and unlikely contender Zendaya (7/1). The bookmaker sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson (left in August) the most likely to take over at odds of 11/8, while Theo James (right in January 2024) sits at 7/2 Despite 'usually playing the good guy' in her previous roles, the female actress told Elle in 2023 that she's ready to enter her villainous era. 'I would love to play a villain of sorts,' the 28-year-old said. 'Tap into the evil, supervillain vibes. Whatever that manifests in, I don't think necessarily in a superhero sense, I just mean in like an emotional sense. 'I feel like I usually play the good guy, so I'd like to play the bad guy.' Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. Even Zendaya has emerged as a shock contender after expressing her want to be a villain during an interview (Pictured May 2025) An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.

Fact check: Did BTS' Jungkook announce a solo world tour with 20 countries including India on list? Truth behind viral claim
All seven members of BTS are finally back from the military, and fans have been thrilled to see updates from nearly everyone except Jungkook. Known for his spontaneous livestreams and candid fan interactions (often sharing more than he probably should, not that anyone's complaining), Jungkook's recent silence has sparked a wave of speculation. While some unverified reports suggest he's currently filming Season 2 of his variety show Are You Sure? with Jimin in Switzerland, a new viral claim making the rounds online says Jungkook has announced a solo world tour—and that India is reportedly on the list. But what's truth? Let's break down. Jungkook's 'solo world tour list' goes viral A few videos on Instagram have sent Indian BTS fans into a frenzy, thanks to a viral list that hints at a potential Jungkook solo world tour with India included. The rumoured tour list features 20 countries: South Korea, Japan, Australia, United States, China, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Spain, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and Hong Kong. While nothing has been confirmed, the list has quickly gained traction online, especially among Indian ARMYs, who are hopeful this could mark the first-ever visit by BTS or any of its members to India. View this post on Instagram Fans have been demanding a Jungkook solo world tour Ever since Jungkook was discharged from the military, fans, especially his solo stans, have been eagerly calling for him to go on a world tour, something he's previously expressed interest in. The idea of seeing him perform his solo hits live has only added to the anticipation. So far, Jungkook has released just one solo album, GOLDEN, which was a massive success. Tracks like Seven, Standing Next to You, and 3D became instant chartbusters, further proving his global star power. However, Jungkook has also been vocal about wanting to expand his discography before embarking on such a major journey. For him, a tour isn't just about performing. WDYM JUNGKOOK SOLO WORLD TOUR IS COMING???🤯 — 정국 (@archivekukk) June 18, 2025 Fact check: So did Jungkook really announce his solo world tour? Absolutely not! While the rumoured tour list has taken over fan pages, there's no official source backing it. Neither Jungkook nor BTS' agency, BigHit Music, has announced any solo world tour plans. The singer hasn't posted anything on Weverse about it either. Jungkook, who deleted his personal Instagram last year, now uses his dog Bam's account, "Bam's Dad", and that account has been completely silent since his military discharge. Even BTS' official Twitter account hasn't hinted at anything related to a tour. Credit: X While a Jungkook solo tour would definitely be a dream come true for millions of fans, it's simply not happening—at least not yet. Everything circulating on social media right now is just an unverified viral claim with no official confirmation.
