Could the Australian actor and musical theatre star be next in line to play the famous spy?

Australian actor Hugh Jackman has sparked a flurry of speculation on social media that he may be the next actor to take on the role of the British super-spy lothario, James Bond, in the globally successful film franchise.

The smoking (golden) gun came in the form of a short video – suspiciously lasting 0:07 seconds in length – posted by Jackman yesterday evening. With an impeccable British accent, Jackman delivers one of Bond’s best known catchphrases, relating to his preferred variety of Martini.

 

SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED.
