With speculation running wild over whether Daniel Craig will step down from his role of James Bond after the upcoming movie, Bond 25, many actors have been rumoured to be next in line.

He might not be an actor by trade, but Shapovalov, Denis Shapovalov, that is, has a demo reel ready just in case he gets the call.

The Canadian tennis star, along with Tomas Berdych, Diego Schwartzman and Karen Khachanov appeared on ‘Outside the Ball’ looking to score a role while in Stoke Park, a location featured in two Bond films.

Shapo, much like Bond, seems to be a man of adventure. He likes to scuba dive and skydive, meaning that the 20-year-old could probably perform all of his own stunts if needed.

While being his own stunt man helps, Shapovalov should still be considered a raw and budding talent in the acting industry. He may need to work on staying in character to further his film pursuits.

Or he could just stick to playing tennis, he’s very good at that.
