The Daily Mail reports suggest that the producers of the James Bond franchise feel that the 30-year-old Lucien Laviscount is the perfect choice for the role, especially because of his age. "Lucien ticks all of the boxes. He is a super talented actor, is extremely handsome and in the past 18 months has won lots of new fans since he joined Emily In Paris.
