Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan has consistently been rumoured to be in the running to become the next James Bond.
Unfortunately for fans, the Holywood man has said he doesn't expect it'll be him, Buzz.ie report.
The 40-year-old told the Radio Times: "Of course, it's nice to be in those conversations. If you're an actor of a certain age who's had a good year, there's an inevitability about it."

"They'll probably replace Daniel with somebody who's never been on one of those lists."
Speaking to Esquire earlier this year, the 39-year-old previously said: "It's fun and it's a cool thing to be in the mix for that sort of thing.
"I do think it's very transparent in terms of if you look at that list, there's not one person on that list who doesn't have some content at the moment that's doing well."
People were also betting on Dornan becoming the next Bond. Jamie added: "Those lists have had family members, family friends, mates of mine.... lot of strangers, lots of different people over the years say, 'Oh, I put a bet on you 40 to one'."
"I think there had been a short recently as eight to one or whatever, like people putting an actual bet on. It's just so silly really."
