Meet the likely 'New James Bond' James Norton, as he is tipped to play the role in a film coming up

James Norton

James Norton is currently 31 and he is an that has made a name in the acting industry and likely to take over from Daniel Craig but he thinks the speculation is "very flattering", and thinks making the decision will be tough.

In his words Norton said: "It's very flattering, but a lot of people are taking the hype too seriously.

"Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Daniel Craig, so I hope he does another one or two.

"It would be a big decision, but at the moment it's not one I have to make."

One of James Norton's recent movie experience is Flatliners, were he made it big and also venturing into going into Hollywood but had different attitude about it.

He said: "I just filmed a remake of Flatliners. I was apprehensive about Hollywood because I love London, but I had an amazing experience."

But if he does make it in Hollywood, James is likely to find even more restrictions on what he can do outside of work for insurance reasons than he does now working on UK TV drama series Grantchester.

He said: "Someone bought me a parachute jump which I haven't done yet.

"But I'm not even allowed to cycle to work while we're filming, so I'm probably not allowed to do the jump either."

James can see a lot of similarities between himself and his Grantchester alter ego, clergyman Sydney.

He told Woman magazine: "We both studied Theology at Cambridge. I have wonderful memories of wandering down the Cam horribly hungover on a Sunday when I was a student and going to sit in The Green Man pub, which we now visit while filming, for a theological debate."
