Jack Lowden Calls Bond Buzz 'Flattering'

Jack Lowden of Slow Horses is supposedly in the running to be the next James Bond, and he's handling it like a fella who knows not to squat with his spurs on. He told GQ Hype the attention was flattering and he's keeping quiet about it, which is more discipline than I've ever seen out of a man at a county fair. Co-star Gary Oldman said on Global he had his fingers crossed for Jack, then told the Toronto International Film Festival he'd only heard a rumor and had no idea who got the part. Hollywood runs its casting like a county commission: a committee, a press tour, and a rumor nobody can trace back to a source. Daniel Craig is being replaced, casting is expected by year's end, and as of now nobody has a winner.
