Jude Bellingham enters Bond betting ahead of Harry Kane
Jude Bellingham has been added to William Hill News’s market to be the next James Bond at 200/1, joining a list of outsider celebrities and current or former footballers that now includes Harry Kane, David Beckham and Scott McTominay.
The England midfielder moves into the Bond betting after recently revealing that he would “love to play James Bond” one day.
He joins names such as Tom Felton and Stephen Graham at three‑figure prices, reflecting his status as a long‑shot but popular addition to the market rather than a core contender.
Harry Kane has also entered the list, though the England captain sits behind his international teammate at 1000/1, the same price as Beckham.
McTominay is quoted at 500/1, rounding out the current and former footballers in the special.
At the top end of the market, Callum Turner remains favourite at EVS, with Louis Partridge 3/1, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Harris Dickinson at 6/1, Jacob Elordi at 7/1 and Scott Rose‑Marsh at 8/1, before the field moves out to 14/1 bar.

William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “After Jude Bellingham’s recent admission that he’d love to play James Bond one day, we’ve added him into the betting to succeed Daniel Craig as 007.
“He joins a selection of celebrities at three‑figure prices, but we have Bellingham more likely to be sipping dry martinis on‑screen than the likes of Ryan Gosling (250/1), Hugh Jackman (250/1) and Harry Styles (250/1).
“The Real Madrid maestro makes up one of two England stars in the running to be named the next Bond; we have him five times as likely to swap the football pitch for the film set than his teammate and captain, Harry Kane (1000/1).
“Scott McTominay (500/1) and David Beckham (1000/1) round out the current and former footballers in the betting market.”
