However, the modest actor seems to have a different perspective on the matter.
In an interview with NME, Blyth shared his thoughts on the casting rumors and his chances of becoming the next 007. He stated, “I don’t see it happening, but it would be lovely if it did.” Blyth went on to explain that he is grateful for the recognition and support, but he doesn’t want to get his hopes up. He also added, “It’s such an iconic role, and there are so many talented actors out there who would do an amazing job. I’m just happy to be considered.”
Blyth’s humility and grounded nature are truly admirable, especially in an industry where ego and self-promotion often overshadow talent. Despite being a top choice for the role, he remains humble and focused on his craft. This is a testament to his dedication and passion for acting.
While Blyth may not see himself as the next James Bond, fans and critics certainly do. His impressive acting skills, suave looks and British charm make him a perfect fit for the role. In ‘Peaky Blinders’, Blyth has already shown us that he can take on complex and challenging characters with ease.

The film, which has been receiving positive reviews, showcases Blyth’s range as he takes on a completely different character from his previous roles.
