Richard Osman, a television host and commentator, says he has “insider knowledge” about who he believes is the frontrunner to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond in forthcoming films. The Mirror reports Osman makes the claim publicly in the context of ongoing casting speculation around the next Bond actor.
The Independent frames the same claim as an actor being “tipped” for the role, again attributing the suggestion to Osman. Both outlets focus on Osman’s view rather than confirming any official casting decision, and they present the comments as part of broader media discussion about who might take over the franchise. The Mirror also adds that Osman has a very famous wife, as biographical context for why his comments are being circulated, while neither source indicates that producers or the studio have announced a winner.
