Jonathan Bailey would find it "hard to say no" if he was asked to be the next James Bond.

The Bridgerton actor, 37, is one of several stars to have been linked to the part of the suave spy, after Daniel Craig previously bowed out of the role in 2021 movie No Time To Die, but Jonathan is "not sure" if he would say yes to the massive role.

When asked on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Radio 2 if he would "want" to be Bond, he said: "I don't ... I am not sure ... I don't know.

"I really, honestly, I mean ... it would be hard to say no."

However, the Wicked and Wicked: For Good actor - who plays Prince Fiyero Tigelaar in the two-part movie musical - believes the next Bond movie will be "exciting" whoever is in the lead role.

He added: "But I know that it's going to be exciting whatever they do."

Jonathan also admitted he was "flattered" to be asked whether he would be up for appearing as 007.

After radio host Scott Mills asked Jonathan about the part, he replied: "I mean, that's an amazingly flattering ask.

"I could imagine you as James Bond, Scott."
