With so much speculation around who will play James Bond next, Tom Hiddleston sounds like he's just as clueless as us.

During a sit down on The Graham Norton Show, the actor explained the James Bond rumour and the relationship to his character in The Night Manager, which is currently being aired in the U.S. on AMC.

"I think it has come about because in The Night Manager I play a spy, and we all know the iconography of British culture; there is a spy that we all know and his name is James Bond. So people have made the link."
