After months of speculation, Taron Egerton has taken himself out of the running for James Bond, candidly admitting that despite the flattery he simply doesn’t see himself slipping into the Tux of 007.

"I'm too messy for that," the 'Kingsman' star said about being Denis Villeneuve's 007. "Also, it’s possibly not quite the thing that would make me happiest; it kind of consumes your life."

Taron Egerton said that he wouldn't be a "good choice" to play James Bond during a new interview about the next 007. Shaken, not stirred. Taron Egerton has dropped out of the race to become the next James Bond as Amazon MGM Studios eye their new international man of mystery.
