Saoirse Ronan has insisted she and her husband, fellow actor Jack Lowden, aren’t getting too swept up in the rumours that he has been cast as James Bond.
During a promotional interview with AP for her latest film Bad Apples, a reporter asked Saoirse how it was to be living with Jack at a time when “the whole world” is discussing whether or not he’s been cast as 007.
“Well, Gary Oldman thinks he’s James Bond, which is its own thing,” the Oscar nominee quipped, referring to recent reports in the press involving Jack’s Slow Horses co-star.
Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden at the 2024 Emmys“We’re kind of getting on with our life, to be honest,” Saoirse continued. “We have plenty of other things to be dealing with.
“So, yeah, it’s not really a subject that’s coming up in our house, to be honest. The dog needs to be walked, the dinner needs to be made… we’re most focussed on that.”
If reports in the press are to be believed, Jack is among the top picks to play 007 in the long-awaited 26th James Bond film.
Most recently, it’s been indicated that it’s between Jack and fellow British actor Jack Barton, best known for his work in SAS Rogue Heroes and Heartstopper.
The Slow Horses star has managed to remain tight-lipped on the rumours, while Saoirse previously addressed the speculation back in 2024, having expressed on numerous occasions that she’d love to play a new Bond villain.
When asked on the podcast Happy Sad Confused if she’d rather see Jack as Bond or herself as a new villain in the franchise, she admitted: “He should be Bond. If it’s a choice between the two.”
“Isn’t it nice that I’ve done that?” she then joked.
Other names still reported to be in consideration for the role of James Bond include British performers Callum Turner and Harris Dickinson, as well as international names Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal.
