Tom Hiddleston Reveals His Top 3 James Bond Movies – You Won’t Believe Which One Takes the #1 Spot!

Tom Hiddleston, one of Britain’s most recognisable and versatile actors, has captivated audiences with his refined performances and undeniable charm. Best known for his portrayal of the mischievous Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hiddleston’s talents extend well beyond the superhero genre. His sophisticated aura has earned him a devoted international following, where his blend of British finesse and cinematic prowess stands out.

It was his role in The Night Manager that steered the actor into the world of espionage, a genre that seemed to align perfectly with the iconic role of James Bond. In the series, Hiddleston portrayed a former British soldier turned luxury hotel night manager who becomes entangled in a world of spy games. The series’ intrigue and spy elements naturally revived whispers about Hiddleston potentially taking on the legendary 007 role.

In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hiddleston addressed these rumours, clarifying, “Honestly, I don’t know. Apart from the fact that people have watched The Night Manager and started to throw my name around in that conversation, I really think that’s it.”

Fast forward seven years, and Hiddleston’s name continues to surface in discussions surrounding the next James Bond. With changing times and a shift in the traditionally exclusive Bond mould, many speculate that the casting process for the next 007 may embrace a broader range of actors. Hiddleston himself acknowledges the deep cultural significance of Bond in British history.

“Of course, it’s flattering when people float that idea,” he shared. “Because as a child growing up in Britain, Bond is the centre of your world. I grew up with Sean Connery and Roger Moore, and the BBC used to run those movies on Saturday night, and it was all we talked about on the playground Monday morning. So it’s very strange to be in that conversation.”

While it remains unclear if Hiddleston will ever wear the iconic tuxedo and step into Bond’s shoes, fans remain intrigued by his personal favourites in the Bond franchise. In a candid moment, Hiddleston shared his top three James Bond films: From Russia With Love, Live and Let Die, and Casino Royale.

Released in 1963, From Russia With Love stands as one of Sean Connery’s finest performances as Bond, offering a gripping Cold War thriller with espionage at its core. The 1973 film Live and Let Die marks Roger Moore’s debut as 007, blending action with a touch of supernatural elements. Finally, Casino Royale (2006) reinvented Bond for a modern audience with Daniel Craig’s gripping origin story.

Yet, if forced to choose just one to take to a desert island, Hiddleston’s ultimate pick is clear: From Russia With Love.

Whether or not Hiddleston ultimately joins the ranks of 007, his personal connection to the Bond legacy continues to spark interest—and his favourite films showcase his deep appreciation for the iconic franchise that has shaped generations of moviegoers.
