Taron Egerton says he’s definitely not the next James Bond.
When you have your big break in an action packed British spy series, and you're in your early 20s, the British media is only going to do one thing - link your name to a future casting for James Bond. That's the fate that befell Taron Egerton, the talented Welsh actor who shot to stardom in Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service as Eggsy, a rough diamond in London's East End who ends up recruited by an underground spy agency designed to protect the world from terror.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY But the vacancy isn't one that Egerton will be filling, having never spoken with Barbara Broccoli, the long-time producer of the Bond series, and that's something he's more than content with, as he explained to Total Film in an interview promoting his latest role in a Vaughn movie, the upcoming Tetris.
