Tom Hiddleston might be dating Taylor Swift to land the coveted role of James Bond for the next film, a new report claims.
A report on Thursday in Hollywood Life says that the 35-year-old actor hopes to get the James Bond role, replacing the last Bond man, Daniel Craig, and by dating Swift he improves his chances. (RELATED: Taylor Swift Spotted With Tom Hiddleston WEEKS After Dumping Calvin Harris)
“Tom is making a huge power play dating Taylor in his quest to be the next James Bond,” a source told the outlet. “Producers are desperate for the next Bond to be a universal name that will boost the brand worldwide, especially in America.”
“Tom’s not silly,” the source added. “He knows that by hooking up with Taylor he will give himself the best opportunity in securing the part. After all, a romance with arguably the biggest pop star on the planet will guarantee you huge coverage and that can only strengthen his hand in getting the role.”
“This will certainly make him clear favorite now, ahead of the likes of Aidan Turner, Idris Elba and Tom Hardy who have all been mentioned.”
Earlier this week, the pair were caught kissing on a beach in Rhode Island, in photos that have been seen all around the world.
