It’s the movie role that can transform unknown actors into global megastars – and now the British have had their say on who they want to be the next James Bond.

Thousands of Bond fans have cast their votes on who they want to replace Daniel Craig in the spy film franchise.

And topping the list is Luther star Idris Elba, who was the overwhelming favorite to perform after a survey of 2,000 Britons.

In the poll, commissioned by Lottoland, the 51-year-old beat the likes of Venom star Tom Hardy, Superman’s Henry Cavill and Oscar-winning man with the golden gong, Cillian Murphy, for the prized role.

Among the other top 20 A-listers who suggested they might be in the running were some left-wing stars such as House of the Dragons’ Emilia Clarke, James Norton, Emily Blunt and Helen Mirren. The sun revealed.

Bond is known for turning those who play 007 into global superstars.

And the franchise isn’t shy about casting stars out of left field to take on the role. The late Sean Connery, one of the most recognizable Bonds, had only appeared in a series of TV films when he accepted the role of a British spy in 1962’s Dr. No, with which he achieved international fame.

But while Idris was the first choice, fans may be left disappointed after the actor ruled himself out of playing the role last year so he could focus on his deal with Netflix, where he is starring in Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Idris brought up the ongoing discussions about the takeover of Ian Fleming’s famous British spy in February 2023.

When asked about the Luther film at the World Government Summit in Dubai, he said: “It’s very dark.

‘We’ve been working on the television show for about ten years and so the natural ambition is to bring it to the big screen, and so here we are with the first film.

“You know, a lot of people talk about another character that starts with J and ends with B, but I’m not going to be that guy.

‘I will be John Luther. That’s who I am.’

In August 2022, it was reported that Idris had left ‘years of talks’ with film bosses to take over the famous role.

He was the bookies’ favorite to replace Daniel Craig as super spy, but is keen to pursue other roles – and has even submitted a proposed list to producer Barbara Broccoli of actors who would play 007.

A source said The sun: ‘Fans and Barbara wanted Idris, but he wants to create something for himself.

“However, he has put forward names to play 007. He is ‘informally’ involved in the decision-making process, because he has been in discussions with producers for so long.’

MailOnline contacted representatives of Idris and James Bond producers at the time.

While Aaron Taylor-Johnson, once hailed as the ‘to beat’ who would become the next 007, finished in 9th place

He’s the man with the golden gong, but could Oscar winner Cillian Murphy be the next 007

What about Marvel’s brazen trickster, Loki? Tom Hiddleston is sixth on the list

But there are also some left-field entries, including Emily Blunt as the first female Bond

And House of the Dragon star Emilia Clarke – who once played Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise – is also a female frontrunner

At the premiere of his film The Harder They Fall in 2021, when asked if he is considered the next 007, Idris said: ‘No, I’m not going to be James Bond.’

He told it too The Express about the rumors: “I’m probably the most famous Bond actor in the world, and I didn’t even play the part.”

Idris then added: “Enough is enough. I can’t talk about it anymore.’

Despite this, Ladbrokes awarded the actor a 3/1 for taking on the role after Daniel announced that 2021’s No Time To Die would be his final appearance as the character.

The bookmakers said at the time: ‘We have seen a huge interest in Idris Elba and have reduced his odds accordingly, so much so that he is now the clear favorite in our view to replace Daniel Craig as 007.’

Tom Hardy at 5/1, Rege-Jean Page 4/1 and Richard Madden 20/1 were also rumored to be in the running.

Daniel Craig has been Bond since his first appearance in Casino Royal in 2006, before announcing that 2021’s No Time To Die would be his last time as 007

Grantchester’s James Norton (pictured in 2021) came fourth in the poll for future famous spy

Others in the running for Bond include Scottish Game of Thrones star Richard Madden

Regé Jean-Page (photo in July 2022) also made the list, finishing just behind Madden in 11th place

Spider-Man Tom Holland was also slated to replace Daniel Craig as Bond

James Bond producer Barbara previously admitted that it will take a long time to choose Craig’s 007 replacement.

The filmmaker emphasized that it’s not as simple as choosing an actor to take on the iconic role of the friendly spy.

Speaking to Variety, Barbara said: ‘It’s a big decision.

‘It’s not just playing a role. It’s about a whole rethink of where we’re going.”

Earlier that same year, the blockbuster franchise’s producer confirmed that Idris was “part of the conversation” to become the next 007.

She told Deadline’s Crew Call podcast, “Well, we know Idris, we’re friends with him, and he’s a great actor.”

“And you know, it’s been part of the conversation, but it’s always hard to have a conversation when there’s someone in the seat.”

Hunky Fifty Shades of Gray star Jamie Dornan is also in the top 20 for the next Bond

As does Welshman Luke Evans, who starred in a string of Hollywood blockbusters including The Hobbit, Fast & Furious 6 and Dracula Untold

Could Barry Keoghan, riding high on his recent role in Netflix hit Saltburn, be the next to step into 007’s shoes?

Perhaps an unlikely choice, but Leo Woodall’s role in Neflix’s One Day has seen his popularity rise, ranking 13th in the future bonds table

Barbara added that Bond bosses are in no rush to name the actor as they wanted the cast and crew to enjoy Craig’s latest film No Time To Die.

She said: ‘I think we’ve decided that until No Time To Die has had its run and Daniel has been able to – well, we’ve all been able to enjoy and reap the benefits of Daniel’s wonderful tenure, we’re not going to doing. think of or talk about someone else.’

The producer also hinted at a reimagining of the franchise. explaining: ‘It’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re trying to figure out where to go with him, we’ll talk about that.”

However, she added that any casting announcements are still a ways off, saying, “We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time,” she continued. “There is no script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how to approach the next film.

“I’d say filming will take at least another two years.”

Walkers confirm ‘factory defect’ after shoppers spot HUGE bag blunder

Jeffrey Bailey — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 06:33:07 +0000

WALKERS has apologized to customers after admitting a “factory defect” on bags of salt and vinegar chips.

A customer was left shocked when he made a bizarre mistake when he grabbed a packet of crisps.

The snack maker assured the customer that the snacks were safe to eatCredit: X/walkers_crisps

The snack maker took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to apologize to a fan who shared an unusual pack of Walkers.

User Josh Adamson Posted a photo of his order from Seriously Salt and Vinegar.

But the popular snack package was discoloured.

The retro bag is known among Walkers fans for its characteristic green color.

But in the photo the color seems faded and looks completely faded and blue.

The shocked customer said ironically: “Quality department is working hard, I see.”

In response, the chip manufacturer apologized and admitted that the discoloration was part of a factory printing error.

Despite the error, they reassured the customer and claimed the chips were safe to eat.

A spokesperson said: “Hi Josh, this is a printing error that has occurred with our film suppliers, but rest assured you can enjoy your crisps safely!”

It comes after Walkers left fans devastated again after announcing it had discontinued another “phenomenal” crunchy flavour.

“I loved this one!” shoppers are crying as the ‘divine’ fresh flavor that was discontinued last month returns to Morrisons

This crisp brand has confirmed that one of its Oven Baked crisp ranges has been axed for good.

Shoppers will no longer be able to get their hands on the taste of beetroot and sweet chilli jam made with real vegetables.

The flavor only appeared on the scene in 2019, just over five years later consumers will have to say goodbye to the iconic sweet chips.

The news was revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, when a fan of the quirky flavor approached Walkers to ask why they couldn’t find the chips in stores.

The entire list of Walkers crunchy flavors has been discontinued

We’ve put together a list of all the popular crunchy flavors that Walker has dropped in recent months.

Worcester sauce – There was an uproar on social media last year after Walkers confirmed it had stopped making the popular Worcester sauce flavour.
Max Heavy Flamin Hot – This flavor was launched in 2021 to attract a younger audience. Fans of the flavor were left devastated in November 2023 when the chips were pulled from shelves for good.
Beef and Onion – Snack fans were shocked when the beef and onion flavor was nowhere to be seen in supermarkets. The beloved flavor was discontinued in 2022, but fans only found out about it last year.
Sizzling steakwotsits – The retro flavor was previously sold as BBQ beef, but was pulled from shelves in the early 2000s. It briefly returned to stores in January 2020 due to high demand, but was gone for good soon after.
Beijing Spare Rib oriental crackers – Walkers confirmed in November last year that it has discontinued another fresh flavor inspired by flavors from around the world.
Salt and Vinegar Quavers – This flavor was first introduced in 1993 and returned to the line-up in 2021, along with shrimp cocktail Quavers, following demand from chip lovers. But unfortunately the crispiness has disappeared again.
Sensational royal lamb and mint – The popular flavor was only available for a specific occasion: the King’s Coronation.
Marmite – This controversial flavor has been on shelves for more than 20 years, but was discontinued at the end of 2023. But it looks like Marmite is taking over as they recently announced they would be producing their own brand of crisps.
Tear ‘n’ Share chips – Walkers confirmed it had discontinued its Tear ‘n’ Share chips in January. The chips are thicker cut chips that come in a separate bag that turns into an easy to share bowl. Walkers confirmed that these have been out of stock for several years.
Smiths Cheese moments -Referred to by fans as “the most underrated chips ever”, this snack was generally sold in pubs. It has even been called the “king of all chips”, but was unfortunately discontinued forever.
Beetroot and sweet chili jam -Fans learned this month that Walkers has stopped making the beetroot and sweet chilli jam in its oven-baked range. The flavor was introduced in 2019 and is made with real vegetables.

Five convicts familiar with Navalny’s prison confirm hellish conditions

Sabir Ansary — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 13:27:57 +0000

Locked in a prison in the Arctic, Aleksei A. Navalny likely spent his final days in some of the most inhumane conditions in Russia’s vast prison system, according to five men who served their sentences in the same penal colony as the Russian opposition leader.

The men described in telephone interviews unbearable cold, disgusting food, unsanitary conditions and abuse in Penal Colony No. 3 of the remote Yamalo-Nenets region, where Mr. Navalny arrived in December to serve the remainder of his 19-year prison sentence. The former prisoners said conditions were particularly brutal in the solitary cells where Mr Navalny was believed to have been locked up on the day he was declared dead.

But what made the prison, known as IK-3 or the Troika, feared even by Russia’s hardened prisoners was its exceptional psychological pressure and loneliness, they said. It was a system designed to break the human spirit, by making survival dependent on total and unconditional obedience to the will of guardians.

“It was complete and utter destruction,” said a former inmate named Konstantin, who spent time in the prison’s solitary confinement cells. “When I think about it, I still break out in a cold sweat,” he said, adding that he has struggled with mental illness since his release.

The New York Times interviewed four men who had served their sentences at the Troika over the past decade, some just weeks before Mr. Navalny’s arrival. The Times also spoke to one person who was in the colony at the time of Mr. Navalny’s death, as well as a friend of a former prisoner. Their full names and some personal information are withheld to protect them from retaliation.

Mr Navalny, who will be buried on Friday in a Moscow cemetery, described his time in the Troika in occasional posts on social media with the sarcasm, humor and understatement that made the former blogger the face of the opposition to President Vladimir V. Putin.

He managed to maintain an upbeat tone even as he appeared increasingly thin and pale during his rare court hearings, which have lately been largely held remotely via video calls. The government said Mr Navalny died of natural causes on February 16 after falling suddenly during a morning walk. His political movement says he was killed on Putin’s orders. No concrete evidence has been provided to support either version of events.

“Few things are as refreshing as a walk on Yamal at 5:30 in the morning,” Mr. Navalny wrote in a post in January, describing the mandatory morning exercises in minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit on the Yamal Peninsula. “And you wouldn’t believe that a lovely fresh wind blows into the courtyard, despite the concrete fencing.”

Mr Navalny was repeatedly subjected to solitary confinement after being jailed in 2021. He was scheduled to serve his 27th stint in solitary confinement on the day he was declared dead. said a spokeswoman for his political movement.

These cells are designed “to break people morally until you agree to all the conditions of the prison administration,” said a former Troika prisoner, a murderer who had spent time in the Troika’s solitary cells. “It was hell.” Former convicts also said men in solitary confinement had to move their beds aside from alarm clock to bedtime, forcing them to stand or sit for most of the day.

Located in the tundra, the Troika was built to hold around a thousand prisoners in some of the most remote, strict and harsh conditions in Russia, which former convicts say can lead to torture. The prison’s fame dates back to the Soviet Union, when it became an unofficial destination for the country’s convicted organized crime bosses. Under Putin, it has housed some of his political opponents, including former oil tycoon Platon Lebedev.

Extreme cold is the Troika’s most pervasive hardship. The former convicts said that worn-out prison blankets were often the only source of warmth during the polar nights. Two of the former convicts said some of the solitary confinement cells had radiators painted on the walls instead of heating.

The food was extremely poor, even by the standards of Russian prisons.

“It was horrible, inedible porridge,” said Konstantin, the former convict, using a series of expletives.

Prison authorities also exercised strict control over every aspect of prisoners’ lives, relying on an extensive network of informants. The former convicts said this surveillance fueled paranoia and fear.

“You can’t hide anything there, everything is connected, everyone knows everything about everyone,” said a former prisoner named Aleksandr, who had been in the Troika for drugs. He said this made him see all other convicts as a threat, destroying the sense of community that often serves as the main source of support in other Russian prisons.

“You had to make peace with the fact that no one will help you, that you are on your own,” Aleksandr added.

Such conditions can hasten an inmate’s death by chronically undermining a person’s physical and mental health. That’s what former prisoners said prison mortality was highand death remained a constant shadow even after its release.

A St. Petersburg woman named Alisa said she had struggled to recognize her boyfriend Mikhail after he served a four-year prison sentence in the Troika in 2022 for a fraud conviction.

“He was such a charming young man,” said Alisa, who sent packages to Mikhail in prison. “He returned without teeth and with a broken psyche. When he saw me on the street, he didn’t even recognize me.”

Alisa said that Mikhail died a year after his release.

The Troika’s isolation and the atmosphere of paranoia have made it difficult to turn to prisoners to determine the details of Mr Navalny’s death.

A person at the Troika last month said guards blocked access to the prison’s telephone service on the day Mr Navalny’s death was reported. The strict protocols have also meant that few of the Troika convicts have illegal mobile phones, virtually cutting them off from the world after Mr Navalny’s death.

The person in prison at the time of Mr. Navalny’s death said he found out the next day through the prison rumor mill. He said he did not know where Mr Navalny was before he died because the strict daily regime meant the men living in one prison barracks rarely interacted with, or even saw, the men in the other.

The prison also has about two dozen cells for solitary confinement and other punishment measures spread throughout the grounds.

“You could spend 10 years there and not see anyone else and know nothing,” the person said. When asked about the reaction of the convicts to Mr Navalny’s death, he said: “Nobody there cares about anyone else, because everyone only thinks about themselves and when they can get out of there.”

Still, he noted that any disruption to routine, such as the arrival of federal officials at the prison after an inmate’s death, would be welcome as a small reprieve. He recalled a time in 2022 when another inmate had died.

“It may sound callous, you know, but his death put an end to the abuse and eased some of the daily routine,” the person said. “And this is of course positive for the convicts.”

Susie Evans and Justin Glaze confirm they are dating

Susie Evans And Justin Glaze have found love in Bachelor Nation after all.

“Justin is my boyfriend. We are dating,” Evans, 30, said E! News in an interview published on Wednesday, January 24.

Evans and Glaze, 29, sparked a friendship after their respective performances Clayton Echard And Katie Thurston'seasons of The Bachelor And The Bachelorette. Despite often getting cozy on social media, they claimed their bond was purely platonic with a slightly flirty undertone.

However, in October 2023, Evans told Glaze to stop “messing around” about their flirty banter.

“I thought, 'Oh, this tone seems a little different,'” Glaze recalled E! News. “In the back of my mind I thought, 'If you mean it, I mean it too.' That was kind of my mentality. I was always testing the lines, and I wasn't sure if she would go for it. So I didn't want to cross those boundaries.”

After a “really nice conversation,” Glaze “just went for it” and expressed his feelings.

“I was like, 'Hey, listen, I don't know where you stand on our friendship or relationship. Obviously, I respect you immensely, and I value our friendship. But I'd be lying if I did [said I] I didn't think about whether there was potential for more than a friendship, just given the natural chemistry we had as friends,” he recalled, noting that they shared a kiss that night.

Glaze and Evans kept their new romance a secret for a few weeks to 'protect' [their] privacy” and “do not exert pressure [their] relation.”

Nearly a year earlier, Evans spoke exclusively We weekly how she first met Glaze.

“We are busy launching a collaboration,” she joked Us in December 2022 when asked about meeting Glaze. “I was there to help him film an ad that had nothing to do with my blog. … His videographer wasn't available and I live three hours away from him and he said, 'Hey, is there any chance you would be available on this date to do something with videography?' And I thought, 'Can we trade yes for a blog collaboration?' And he said, 'Yes, absolutely.' We actually had so much fun.”

Although Evans and Glaze were just friends at the time, she was open to dating another member of Bachelor Nation. (Evans last dated Echard, 30, on and off until their breakup in September 2022.)

“I think I should be really interested in the person and want to get to know them before I ever go out with them in public. I would really like to investigate that call,” she shared Us. “I would really want to make sure it's someone who, if there's a photo taken or something like that – not that it really matters, I don't care about that kind of thing – but it would be a public relationship again. …So I would really have to make sure that I really, really like that person before I even give a first date a chance, just because I think it gets complicated if people want to talk about it.

Married at First Sight Britain’s Peggy Rose and Georges Berthonneau confirm they are still together after fans feared they would split after reunion

Sabir Ansary — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 15:59:38 +0000

Married At First Sight British stars Peggy Rose and Georges Berthonneau have confirmed they are still together, months after filming the show’s reunion.

The couple had sparked fears their marriage was over when they were noticeably absent from social media, but have taken to Instagram to confirm they are stronger than ever.

Peggy posted three fun snapshots with her husband Georges, including two beautiful photos taken on their wedding day.

The Technology Risk Partner said they enjoyed some “much-needed quality time together” after the reunion.

Peggy and Georges went through a turbulent time during their time in the MAFS experiment, including their vastly different views on intimacy, and the streamer struggling to win over his wife’s family.

Loved-up: Married At First Sight British stars Peggy Rose and Georges Berthonneau have confirmed they are still together, months after filming the show’s reunion

However, months after filming their reunion, Peggy and Georges have confirmed they are happier than ever.

Peggy captioned her post: “CONFIRMED: We are still together! ��

“We took a break from sharing and smothering social media to give ourselves some much-needed quality time after the show ended.

“Although we are in a relationship, we still have our own identity and individuality; that makes us so strong.

“As cliche as this sounds, we want to thank you all for your patience – it hasn’t been easy, but sharing our journey with you means the world because your continued love and support means the world to us.

“Plus, we have even more exciting news: we’ve created joint accounts to share our lives after MAFS. Follow us for more updates. On to the next chapter!’

Although Peggy has shared the exciting news that she and Georges are still going strong, she remained tight-lipped about whether they have consummated their wedding yet during a recent Q&A on Instagram.

She said, “So many of you are asking this question, so I’m going to ask you one back…” followed up with a poll for her followers to share their predictions.

It goes well! The couple had sparked fears their marriage was over when they were absent from social media, but on Instagram they confirmed they are stronger than ever

It comes after the MAFS reunion, filmed earlier this year, stunned some viewers as Peggy revealed she and Georges had yet to consummate their marriage.

Reuniting with the rest of the cast, the duo admitted that they were still waiting to go ‘all the way’ three months after their wedding.

Fans of the show shared their disbelief on Twitter/X as they took the opportunity to joke about the couple’s lack of intimacy.

One person jokingly wrote, “The year is 2955. Humanity has evolved to communicate via telepathy and the polar ice caps have just reformed as we enter a mini ice age. Peggy and Georges still haven’t had sex.’

“Peggy wanted children with Georges, someone will have to tell her how that happens,” another added.

‘I can’t believe Peggy hasn’t done anything with Georges yet! She doesn’t like him, poor baba’s self-esteem is in jeopardy,” a third shared.

Someone else wondered: ‘The fact that Peggy still doesn’t want to have sex with Georges is very interesting. Is she disgusted by him in that way or something?’

Another wrote: ‘Rumor has it that Peggy and Georges still haven’t had sex to this day.’

The E4 dating series came to an explosive end on Tuesday when four couples – Ella and JJ, Peggy and Georges, Adrienne and Matt, and Paul and Tasha – decided whether to stay together or split up.

During the show, Peggy and Georges seemed to overcome their differences when they decided to stay together.

After a cliffhanger in the episode Final Vows, Peggy talked about how she trusted Georges to “prove anyone who doubted you wrong” after her family shared their uncertainty about their relationship.

She said: ‘This is by far the biggest decision of my life. My family wants the best for me, and family and respect for me are everything.

‘They want me to be happy and put myself first. As much as I wanted to trust you, to me, trust is something you earn.

‘I may not trust easily, but I do trust myself. And I also trust that you will prove everyone who doubted you wrong. So my decision is to stay and continue our story together.”

Real? It comes after the MAFS reunion, filmed earlier this year, stunned some viewers as Peggy revealed she and Georges had yet to consummate their marriage.

Peggy was previously branded ‘disrespectful’ and ‘disgusting’ for her treatment of her husband Georges.

Despite reiterating that he had put his personal training business on hold to appear on the show, both Peggy and her beloved parents – with whom she still lives as a three-year-old – have criticized his employment status, leading to heavy criticism.

Since the show ended, Peggy revealed that she has started her own clothing company, rather than returning to her old job as a Technology Risk Partner.

‘[She’s] my biggest supporter, who always listens to me, all my crazy antics, whining and complaining,” she said.

The Matildas striker posted the image in an Instagram post, accompanied by the simple caption ‘September people x’, while two other photos show a jeweled ring on Mewis’ left ring finger.

It was the first time the ring on Mewis’ hand was clearly depicted after fans accidentally got a sneak peek of it when she appeared in a promotional video for a new video game.

Mewis’ left hand appeared to be purposely hidden in recent photos of the couple as speculation reached a fever pitch.

She left the comment “ily x” — common slang for “I love you” — on Kerr’s post, followed by another reading “Lushhhhh.”

Rumors have it that Kerr and Mewis got engaged after the American football player celebrated her 30th birthday in September. At the time, fans congratulated Kerr after Australia’s biggest football star posted a photo on social media showing her wearing a gold ring on her wedding finger.

Fans called the photo of Kerr with the gold band a “soft engagement launch,” with one writing: “Ahahah the ring congratulates Sam” and another asking: “So where’s the proposal video?”

The loved-up couple celebrated Kerr’s 30th birthday earlier that same month, with a photo from her celebratory dinner showing the Aussie with her hand wrapped around Mewis’ waist – and her left hand carefully positioned so as not to show any ring.

Mewis was featured in her team Gotham FC’s promotional clip for the new EA FC 24 video game, with the ring on her left hand accidentally revealed in the footage – but it wasn’t lost on the couple’s fans.

She followed up with a post to her Instagram Story earlier that month, showing what appears to be her hand holding Kerr’s.

Once again, most of the fingers on Mewis’ left hand are not visible in the photo, leading some to believe she may have hidden a ring.

The Matildas striker included the photo in an Instagram post, accompanied by the simple caption ‘September people x’, while two other images show a jeweled ring on Mewis’ left ring finger.

The couple met while both playing for rival clubs in the American League in 2019.

They spoke online for almost four months during the 2020 Covid lockdown before spending two weeks in quarantine together, where they quickly fell in love.

The pair continued their romance ahead of the 2021 Olympics, where – following the US’s semi-final defeat by Australia – they were photographed together.

Their on-field embrace made headlines as Kerr’s split with her former long-time partner – another American club player, Nikki Stanton – had not yet become public.

Their international romance has since been extensively documented on social media, with both women amassing hundreds of thousands of followers.

Another photo from Kerr’s post showed the couple enjoying a ride on a boat – with the ring visible on Mewis’ left hand

‘We are not private people. I enjoy sharing my story. I like to share who I am outside of football. Football is five percent of my life,” Kerr told British publication Gaffer earlier this year.

In August, the couple traveled to Sydney while Kerr played with the Matildas in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

In a twist, Kerr took on Kristie’s ex-girlfriend Rachel Daly, who played for England in the semi-final.

Kerr and Mewis are the undisputed power couple in women’s football and the pair have amassed thousands of followers since their relationship blossomed.
