Everyone is so sure the Tom Hiddleston is bound to be the next Bond that bets have been suspended after a "particularly large wager" was thrown down. If you've not seen the BBC's Night Manager, he is effectively playing Bond - the double agent, the sharp suits, the exploding chandeliers, the women he helps save, and so on. Sure in the final episode he be seen ordering a "vodka martini." What further evidence do you need?!
Welp, should you require more, it's been rumoured that Hiddleston has been "spotted meeting with Bond movie director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli." In addition to this, Associated Press have reported that - since the reported meeting - "a flurry of bets in recent days made 'The Night Manager' star the 2-1 favourite to replace Daniel Craig to be the next 007. But after a particularly large wager, the odds plummeted and betting was suspended."
The article adds: "Coral spokeswoman Nicola McGeady, says while earlier in the year "there was a gamble" on Damien Lewis and Idris Elba, nothing has "come close to the recent gamble on Hiddleston."
