Is Tom Hiddleston about to be named as the new James Bond?

Bookies have suspended betting after receiving a massive tip-off

Published on16th May 2016 at 7.17am

With Daniel Craig growing more and more grumpy by the day, the search has been on to find a brand new James Bond – and it looks like one has already been approached.

Bookies were forced to suspend betting on the new Bond after someone came in to put down a four-figure bet on The Night Manager's Tom Hiddleston.

That was a big enough tip-off to make Coral and BoyleSports put a stop to any more flutters on the actor, who now stands at odds of 2-1 at being named the next 007.

His fellow Brits Tom Hardy, Idris Elba and Damien Lewis now lag a long way behind Hiddleston, The Sun claims.

Meanwhile, Tom was asked about the rumours on the Jimmy Kimmell show recently, and gave a traditionally woolly answer.

"Honestly, I play a British spy in The Night Manager, so people have made the link," he said.

"As somebody who grew up with Sean Connery and Roger Moore, when you mention it there’s some part of me who goes: 'Really? Are you kidding?'"

It's thought whoever bags the role will be announced as the new Bond very soon.

Russian man Grigory Toporov was fed up of his wife making fun of him for having a small penis. The 47-year-old decided to have a plastic prosthetic penis fitted so that he could perform to her bedroom expectations. After a ‘marathon’ of wild sex, the penis extension broke and ruined the moment slightly. This was the last straw for Grigory’s wife, who consequently filed for divorce. He later said: ‘I told her I would get a new one but she wasn't having any of it. She said she was fed up with my failures in bed and wants a divorce.’
