Harry Styles is the latest celebrity rumoured to be in the running for the iconic James Bond role. 

Spectre editor Lee Smith gave his opinion on the possible casting at the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards. 

"Harry could do it, if they wanted a younger Bond then why not? He has got it."

He went on to praise Harry's debut acting performance in last summer's Dunkirk.

 "You would never know that was his first film...Harry is really good.You would have thought you were dealing with a guy with many years of experience."
