Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are reportedly an item these days. However, the fans are not very happy as Taylor allegedly played with Calvin's heart. Now that the internet has taken keen interest in their love story, new reports have surfaced that call their relationship a PR stunt, pulled off by Hiddleston to land a role in James Bond film.
Tom has already been considered to take the Bond Baton from Daniel Craig. In fact, it has also been previously reported that Tom is already the front runner for the role of James Bond in the upcoming movie. Hence, it is not such a bad idea to have an added publicity. Reports pointed out that Barbara Broccoli, Bond franchise producer, met wit Tom in May. Sam Mendes, Bond director, noted that it is Barbara who decides who will play the next bond, he said, "she chooses who's going to be the next Bond: end of story."
A romance between Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston comes at an appropriate time suggesting that this could be a PR setup, right from the start. The hype surrounding their relationship began when the two were seen dancing together at the MET Gala. Reports give them them a slight benefit of doubt that while the dance could have been a coincidence, their subsequent encounter seem calculated.
When Tom was asked about being the next Bond, he claimed that while it is flattering to be considered for the role, he has not not been offered a role so far.
"I think it has come about because in The Night Manager I play a spy, and we all know the iconography of British culture; there is a spy that we all know and his name is James Bond," the actor revealed. "So people have made the link."
"No, no one's talked to me at all," he clarified.
