Trending Eagled-eyed fans also noticed his new New Year social media post showed the buff actor on a beach – in a supposed Bond-inspired pair of blue swim shorts, echoing Daniel Craig's infamous Casino Royale swimwear. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "All eyes have been on Rege-Jean Page so far this year and punters remain convinced he'll replace Daniel Craig as 007 off the back of Bridgerton's success." Ladbrokes have propelled Page to 5/1, shooting past Idris Elba and Sam Heughan on 6/1 and closing fast on frontrunners James Norton on 7/4 and Tom Hardy on 6/4. Apati added: "While punters think Rege-Jean Page is clearly a frontrunner, it's worth remembering that this is a market in which Tom Hardy has headed the betting for some time now. He's been there or thereabout for years and remains the most likely name to play Bond next."
