There's been lots of talk about who could possibly step up to fill the James Bond shape hole in our lives if Daniel Craig decides to hang up his tuxedo (and really tiny speedos) and quit the role.

Everyone from Tom Hiddleston to Tom Hardy (our two favourite Toms), via Idris Elba has been linked to the job and now, after the success of La La Land, Ryan Gosling has been tipped as a front-runner for the role.

The guys over at Paddy Power have revealed that the odds of Ryan getting his 007 on have been slashed from 33/1 to a rather promising 9/1 since the release of his latest film.

The Paddy Power spokesman said: "So the Gos is that Ryan’s in the Drive-r’s seat to be the next Bond.

"I’m not sure how you go from musical to muscle, but Gosling’s definitely got the track-record when it comes to one crucial Bond element – the suave sex appeal. At least that’s what Mrs P says. Honest."

Here are some of the other FITLORDS who's odds of nabbing the role of the elusive Mr.Bond are looking good:

6/4 James Norton

5/2 Tom Hardy

11/4 Michael Fassbender

5/1 Aidan Turner

7/1 Idris Elba

9/1 Ryan Gosling

10/1 Tom Hiddleston

12/1 Jack Huston
