Actor Henry Golding Says Playing James Bond Is “Every Actor’s Kind Of Nightmare”

Many actors who have played the iconic fictional spy James Bond have gone on to reach box-office success with their other works. However, it seems that carrying the role of the British Secret Service agent may not be the most ideal for even the most capable actors.

Malaysian-British actor Henry Golding recently spoke to the press at the premiere of his film, “The Old Guard 2”. During the interview, Henry talked about the new James Bond film and why he isn’t keen on playing the iconic role. If you haven’t heard, the franchise is getting a new movie, with Denis Villeneuve in the director’s chair. Amazon MGM Studios is also taking over the production and distribution of all upcoming Bond movies.

Unfortunately, there’s still no news on who will take over the James Bond role from Daniel Craig, who last played the agent in 2021. Amongst those rumoured to become the new 007 include Cillian Murphy and Idris Elba. When asked about the possibility of him playing the suave secret agent, Henry Golding appeared to have some reservations, saying, “I think that’s every actor’s kind of nightmare.”

Henry clarified his comment, saying the franchise’s massive legacy is a double-edged sword because there’s pressure to uphold the mantle and add something new to the already popular franchise. However, the 38-year-old does seem interested in being part of the Bond universe as another agent, saying: “Why can’t they bring out more agents or more 00s? I think that would be so much more fun because there aren’t the restraints and expectations.”

Funnily, the “Crazy Rich Asians” actor somewhat admitted that his lack of desire to play James Bond stemmed from fear. He said candidly, “Maybe I’m just a p***y. I don’t know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn’t that overhanging cultural pressure.”. Of course, Henry’s concern about the pressure of playing the new Bond is valid, given how critical fans of the franchise can be about who takes over the role.

While Henry may opt out of playing 007, let’s hope we can see him in another spy role soon. In the meantime, who do you think deserves to be the next James Bond?
