Lauren Sánchez Could Play the Next Bond Girl, Not Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney has been making headlines ever since she attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in June.
The Euphoria star sparked romance rumors with both Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady before insiders shot those down. While others claimed that Sweeney caused some friction between Bezos and Sánchez after she attended their nuptials, with one source sharing: “Sydney’s not that close with Jeff or Lauren. But she got invited to their Venice wedding for a reason — business.”
Celebrity columnist Rob Shuter shared on his Substack that the White Lotus star is “launching her own lingerie line with funding from Bezos, backed through a $1 billion private equity play … and Sánchez didn’t see it coming.”
Now though, as Bezos’ Amazon MGM Studios has acquired the Bond movie franchise property rights and Sweeney was a frontrunner to be cast as the new Bond girl, Bezos is instead pushing for his wife to get that role.
According to Shuter’s newsletter, “[Bezos] is obsessed. This isn’t just fantasy casting — Jeff wants her on screen, period.”
So could Sánchez become the next Bond girl over Sweeney? Well as one studio executive put it: “She’s not an actress. But she’s Jeff’s muse, and when you spend $8 billion, you get what you want.”
As for who will play the next Agent 007 following Daniel Craig’s departure? That’s still unknown. Earlier this year, Bezos posed that question on X and had over 30,000 responses. Many replied that they would like to see Henry Cavill as Bond.
