Saoirse Ronan Was Asked If Her Husband Is The Next James Bond — Her Answer Involves Dog Walking And Gary Oldman

Stop scrolling, because the most unbothered response to a James Bond rumor in history just dropped — and it involves dinner and a dog walk.

Saoirse Ronan has been asked about the swirling speculation that her husband, Jack Lowden, is the next 007. Her reply? Let's just say it was not "shaken," not "stirred."

Wait, Where Did This Even Start?

Blame Gary Oldman. Lowden's Slow Horses co-star said in a September interview with Global News that Lowden is on the shortlist, and then went further, per Deadline.

Oldman's words: "They have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack."

Reminder: that's one actor's comment, not an official announcement. Nothing has been confirmed.

Ronan's Response Is Everything

Speaking to the Associated Press, Ronan was asked about the Bond chatter and kept it admirably chill. "Well, Gary Oldman thinks he's James Bond," she said, per Deadline.

She added that it's "its own thing" and that she and Lowden are "kind of getting on with our life, to be honest."

Then came the line of the week: "The dog needs to be walked, the dinner needs to be made — we're most focused on that."

Not a confirmation. Not a denial. Just vibes and a very patient dog. 🐕

Plot Twist: Ronan Wants To Be In Bond Too

Here's the fun bit. Ronan told Empire she wants to play a Bond villain and is "dead serious." Her pitch: a young female villain who can take "all that pent-up anger and direct it somewhere."

We would watch that on opening night. Twice.

What Do We Actually Know About Bond Casting?

Not much, honestly. The one concrete item Deadline mentions: back in March, it reported that Nina Gold (the casting director behind Game of Thrones and The Crown) closed a deal to cast the next Bond film.

Beyond that, it's rumor, a co-star's confident comment and a very calm spouse.

The Tea ☕

• Gary Oldman said in September that Jack Lowden has been picked as the next Bond. It is unconfirmed.
• Saoirse Ronan says it's "not really a subject that's coming up in our house."
• Ronan has publicly pitched herself as a Bond villain. Please make this happen.

So... Team Lowden?

Is Jack Lowden your Bond, or is Oldman getting ahead of himself? And would you rather see Saoirse as 007's nemesis? Sound off below.
