Callum Turner at last year’s Venice Film FestivalCallum Turner was definitely not up for discussing those James Bond rumours during a press conference at the Berlinale film festival.For the last few months, unconfirmed reports in the press have repeatedly named Callum as a potential successor to Daniel Craig in the role of 007, following previous speculation that the role was Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s for the taking.Earlier this week, the British actor appeared at Berlinale to promote his new movie Rosebush Pruning, where conversation inevitably turned to Bond.“There is a little bit of an elephant in the room around you,” one journalist pointed out during a press Q&A. “There are, for some weeks now, some speculation, rumours, reports that you are the next James Bond.“Could you share a little bit how you deal with this debate right now, this buzz?
