Is Theo James the next James Bond?
Theo James is one of the actors who has been linked to the role of James Bond.
According to betting odds from William Hill, Theo is tipped to replace Daniel Craig as 007.
Last year, Ladbrokes’ Alex Apati commented: “The race to replace Daniel Craig could be far from over with the latest odds suggesting Theo James is now firmly among the frontrunners for the role.”
Indeed, Theo’s new odds put him in top billing with some other weighty Hollywood names.
Also sitting with 12/1 in the betting is Luther actor Idris Elba and Game of Thrones star Richard Madden.
Just ahead of Theo is heartthrob Henry Cavill with 10/1.
Tom Hardy, James Norton, Regé-Jean Page, and Luke Evans are all also in the running.
Who did Theo James play in Sanditon and why did he leave?
Although Sidney Parker confessed his feelings for heroine Charlotte Heywood in season 1 of Sanditon, he made the difficult decision to marry someone else (someone richer).
When an uninsured building belonging to Sidney’s brother Tom Parker burnt to the ground, Sidney agreed to wed wealthy heiress Eliza Campion instead of Charlotte.
Of course, we knew it was for the financial good of his family – but it didn’t stop us S-C-R-E-A-M-I-N-G at the TV anyway!
Rejected by Sidney, we last saw a heartbroken and teary Charlotte in a carriage and on her way home to her family, leaving Sanditon and her friends there behind.
Sadly, Theo James will not be returning to Sanditon as Charlotte’s love interest, Sidney Parker.
Theo James said: “Although I relished playing Sidney, I’ve always maintained that his journey concluded as I wanted it to.
“The broken fairytale-like ending between Charlotte and Sidney is different, unique and so interesting to me.
“I wish the cast and crew of Sanditon every success with future series.”
