Kardashian Curse: Elordi Misses Bond Audition
31 Oct
Summary
- Elordi reportedly missed screen tests for the next James Bond.
- Bond producers allegedly feared Kardashian association.
- The Jenner connection is blamed for Elordi's exclusion.
Jacob Elordi has reportedly been removed from the shortlist of actors considered for the next James Bond. Sources suggest that his high-profile romance with Kendall Jenner led to this decision. According to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, Bond producers are actively avoiding any connection with the Kardashian-Jenner family, fearing the publicity circus that would surround the franchise.
Despite Elordi's acclaimed roles in films like 'Saltburn' and 'Priscilla,' he did not participate in recent screen tests at Pinewood Studio. Shuter indicated that the producers' desire to maintain the traditional prestige of the Bond franchise is paramount, leading them to steer clear of any association with reality television's most famous family.
This move reportedly leaves Jack Lowden and Callum Turner as leading contenders for the iconic 007 role. Shuter characterized Elordi as the 'latest Kardashian victim,' suggesting that proximity to the family could tarnish an actor's image and negatively impact their career prospects within the traditional Hollywood system.
