Who is Louis Partridge? Netflix star “in contention” to become youngest-ever James Bond actor

by

It feels like we’re back to discussing who will be the next James Bond! While the writer Steven Knight works on the script for the 26th Bond film, there’s still no news on who will replace Daniel Craig.

For months, actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Callum Turner have been the frontrunners to play James Bond, but a recent report suggests they may not be the only contenders.

According to Variety, Louis Partridge is being considered as a potential candidate for the role of James Bond, but this is currently just rumor. A possible advantage for him is his prior working relationship with director Christopher Nolan.

Now that’s covered, let’s talk about the newest actor potentially cast in a legendary film role. Here are the details!

Who is Louis Partridge?

British actor Partridge started his career with roles in popular films like Pan and Paddington 2 when he was a child. He later gained a more significant role as Piero de’ Medici in the third season of the historical drama Medici.

His career took off in 2020 when he appeared alongside Millie Bobby Brown in the Netflix movie Enola Holmes. He played the same character, Viscount Tewkesbury, in the 2022 sequel and will return for the next film in the series.

He played Peter Pan in the 2022 film The Lost Girls and appeared in a small role in Matthew Vaughn’s spy movie, Argylle. More recently, he was in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly and collaborated with Knight on the Netflix series House of Guinness.

In addition to his recent roles, Partridge has collaborated with renowned directors Alfonso Cuarón (on Disclaimer) and Danny Boyle (Pistol). He’s also joining Emma Corrin, Olivia Colman, and Jack Lowden in a fresh take on the classic story, Pride and Prejudice.

Where to watch Louis Partridge’s movies and shows

I’m so excited for more Enola Holmes! Luckily, both of the first two movies are already available to watch on Netflix. And the best part? A third movie is coming to Netflix later this year, although we don’t have an exact release date just yet.

Netflix offers a variety of shows, including the comedy-drama Jay Kelly, Medici, and House of Guinness. If you’re an Apple TV+ subscriber, you can enjoy Argylle and Disclaimer, a thrilling psychological series starring Cate Blanchett and Lesley Manville.

You can watch the series Pistol, about the legendary punk band The Sex Pistols, on Lionsgate+. The beloved film Paddington 2 is currently available on streaming services including Sky Cinema, NOW, StudioCanal Presents, and Netflix.

How old is Louis Partridge?

Born on June 3, 2003, Partridge is currently 22 years old. If he were to play James Bond, he’d be significantly younger than any previous actor to take on the role. Sean Connery was 32 when he first played Bond, and Daniel Craig was 38.

When Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Roger Moore took on the role of James Bond, they were all in their 40s – Dalton was 41, Brosnan 42, and Moore 45. Potential future Bonds, like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Richard Madden, are currently in their mid-30s, both having been born in 1990.

The 26th James Bond film currently has no release date.
