James Bond hopeful ‘secretly married’ after being spotted wearing wedding ring
A frontrunner to play James Bond has been spotted wearing a dazzling bit of bling after ‘secretly’ tying the knot this week.
With the search still underway for the next 007, all eyes are on the five actors believed to be at the top of the list.
This includes 29-year-old Harris Dickinson, of Babygirl and Triangle of Sadness Fame.
As well as starring as John Lennon in Sam Mendes’ upcoming series of Beatles biopics, he’s heavily rumoured to be in the running to embody the next Bond.
And while Harris might not have scored the license to kill just yet, he’s finalised another important bit of paperwork – a marriage license, that is.
Harris showed up at Cannes Film Festival this weekend wearing a ring on his left hand – days after reportedly marrying singer girlfriend Rose Gray.
According to a source for The Sun, Harris and Rose, also 29, tied the knot at Islington Hall on Wednesday.
A source told the tabloid: ‘Harris and Rose’s ceremony was very Harris and Rose: cool, calm, low-key and full of love.
‘They’re not at all showy despite being one of the hottest couples in town who get invited to all the best parties in town. This was for them and no-one else.’
Subsequently spotted arriving at Nice airport in France for Cannes Film Festival, he was dressed in casual clothes – a hoodie and jeans – save for the shiny gold band on his wedding ring finger.
He and Rose are childhood sweethearts who met at school, both rising to fame in their chosen careers.
She first began releasing music in 2019, before dropping her debut studio album, Louder, Please in 2025.
In 2019 and 2023, Harris directed the music videos for her songs Blue and Afraid of Nothing, respectively.
The pair are believed to live together in central London, although they’ve kept their relationship relatively low profile until now.
Of their busy schedules, Rose told People last year: ‘I think traveling a lot and not always being together has been really powerful.
‘But yeah, it’s been a ride. I think distance really makes the heart grow fonder. I don’t care, I know that’s classic, but it does. It really works. And just having your own thing.’
He’s similarly supportive of her career, telling Vogue in November: ‘I love gassing her up. I’m her number one fan. When I see Rose up there doing her thing, I’m just in awe of it, really.’
Should Harris score the rumoured Bond gig, then he’s likely to be shot to stratospheric new heights.
Responding to rumours of his potential casting, Harris said: The role of James Bond is interesting. The circumstances of Bond are interesting. The character, the world, what he goes through, that’s interesting.’
When asked by Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast if he’d be interested, he said: ‘Of course, in practicality.’
He also told Total Film that he’d have to be a ‘fool’ not to consider the role, should it come his way.
He said: ‘I’m loving seeing the development of James Bond and seeing how it changes over the years.
‘I think Daniel Craig was such a good Bond that I’d almost be quite frightened to try.’
‘Who knows what they’re doing with Bond? I’m intrigued,’ he added.
Fresh odds provided to Metro by Ladbrokes put Dickinson at 7/1, behind Wuthering Heights star Jacob Elordi (4/1), Eternity’s Callum Turner (4/5)and Kick-Ass’ Aaron-Taylor Johnson at 7/1,
Rounding out the top five is A Thousand Blows’ James Nelson-Joyce.
Said Alex Apati of Ladbrokes: ‘While dozens have headed the betting to replace Daniel Craig over the years, with an announcement hopefully coming in the near future, the latest odds suggest it’s currently Callum Turner’s gig to lose.’
With the next Bond still to be decided, speculation is at an all-time high as two who else might be involved in the latest franchise entry.
One expert has predicted that Peaky Blinders scribe Steven Knight might pen a ‘darker, more mature’ screenplay, with Dua Lipa also considered to be a candidate to develop the next theme tune.
