AceShowbiz - Damian Lewis addresses rumor that he is eyed for the next James Bond. "By the time they make a decision [on Bond] I'll be dead. So no one need worry anymore," he tells Evening Standard before adding that he believes Daniel Craig will return for the upcoming Bond 25.
Rumors about a new James Bond started after Craig expressed his reluctance to return for another 007 film. He later seemed to backtrack on his statement, "As far as I'm concerned, I've got the best job in the world. I'll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it. If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly."
Damian Lewis, 45, is known for his role on "Homeland". He now leads another Showtime series called "Billions". On the big screen, he joins the female-centric "Ocean's Eight".
