Mumbai, March 25 -- Following rumors that Aaron Taylor-Johnson was offered the role of the next 007 agent, the Bullet Train star received backing from former James Bond actor George Lazenby, who played the iconic character in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

As per a recent TMZ report, Lazenby mentioned that Taylor-Johnson would be more than capable of handling the stunts and charming all the ladies who adore a man in a tux. Lazenby pointed out that Taylor-Johnson likely hasn't secured the role yet because, as he recalled from his own experience auditioning for Bond in the 1960s, there's typically a series of tests and auditions involved before landing such a coveted role.
