My guess is, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are amongst the Zulu. Clooney stepped in and bartended the Duke and Duchesses wedding reception. This is James Bondish. I would like George to play Victoria’s Major Domo.
Jon ‘The Nazarite’
“I was speaking to someone in South Africa the other day that said that Harry loves Zimbabwe,” Nicholl says. “There’s some very remote parts of Zimbabwe that he may take Meghan to.”

“For my money, George Clooney very nearly fills the bill. I’m sure they would have considered him except for one thing: that he is American and not British. Over the years they decided they were never going to cast somebody who wasn’t at least from the British Empire.”
“The American” does not fit snugly in the Bond milieu. Whereas Bond tangled with villains spawned from novelist Ian Fleming’s boundless imagination, and he did so in travelogue locales, Clooney’s hired assassin operates on grittier turf. Jack is more of a loner, hiding out in Italy waiting for a final assignment, and pursuing romance with a local woman rather than a seductress named Solitaire, Honey Ryder or Pussy Galore.
Like a golden age star
But it is Clooney’s movie star presence — a potent blend of brains, looks and charisma — that enables him to add Bond-like class to just about any film.
“I think he has an inherent likeability and native intelligence that aligns him with the stars of the golden age of Hollywood, like Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant,” said Scott Foundas, associate program director for the Film Society of Lincoln Center and a contributor to Film Comment magazine. “There are not many contemporary stars who invite those comparisons,” Foundas added. “He does.”
In the late ’60s the Bond producers considered offering the role to American actors including John Gavin and Burt Reynolds (yes, Burt Reynolds) but I think it’s unlikely that will happen again any time soon, especially now that the films are taking a more hard-edged and realistic approach to the Bond character. So Anonymous is right; they’re most likely sticking with British actors for the foreseeable future.
Besides, even if it were offered to him, there’s little chance Clooney would want to do it. The Bond movies have lengthy shoots and there’s a ton of pre- and post-production publicity required, and Clooney likes to have time to write, produce, and direct his own projects in addition to doing roles for hire.
