Saoirse Ronan says James Bond rumors about husband Jack Lowden are not discussed at home

Saoirse Ronan, the Irish actress, told the Associated Press on October 4, 2026, that rumors about her husband Jack Lowden becoming the next James Bond are not a topic of conversation at home. She said they are focused on everyday life. Lowden is reportedly a frontrunner for the role, with Denis Villeneuve set to direct the next Bond film. Ronan previously said she would like to play a Bond villain. The speculation has drawn mixed reactions, including from Bond author Charlie Higson, who called Lowden an unconvincing choice.
