Jacob Elordi reportedly wants to become the next James Bond. However, sources claim his relationship with Kendall Jenner may complicate that ambition.
The actor has been linked with Jenner since early 2026. Their reported romance has brought Elordi even more public attention.
Some Hollywood insiders believe that attention may not help his Bond campaign.
They argue that James Bond traditionally carries an image of mystery, danger and privacy. Elordi’s connection to the Kardashian-Jenner family could make him feel more exposed to the public.
Sources also claim that every appearance with Jenner increases his fame. However, they believe Bond producers may prefer an actor who still has a more mysterious public image.
Elordi has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the next 007. Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the upcoming Bond film, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman producing.
No official casting decision has been announced.
Meanwhile, reports also suggest that Kendall’s mother, Kris Jenner, is interested in who eventually lands the famous role.
Insiders claim she understands how significant the opportunity could be for Elordi and Kendall. However, there is no confirmed evidence that she is involved in the casting process.
For now, Elordi remains one of several actors linked to the role.
Until producers make an official announcement, speculation over the next James Bond is likely to continue.
