Jamie Dornan has said it is inevitable to be linked with the James Bond role when an actor reaches a "certain" age.
The Belfast star told the Radio Times: "Of course, it's nice to be in those conversations. If you're an actor of a certain age who's had a good year, there's an inevitability about it [being mentioned].
"But they'll probably replace Daniel Craig with somebody who's never been on one of those lists."
The Fifty Shades of Grey actor said of turning 40: "I feel great about it. I'm in a good place at work and at home, and I haven't started sprouting hairs out of my nose yet.
"I'm standing here with three healthy kids and a beautiful wife and a good career.
"I don't have a lot to complain about.
"I feel my life has been marked out by decades: I moved to London when I turned 20. I modelled for 10 years, and then my acting career kicked off at 30, and I got married and had children.
"That makes me even more excited about my 40s. I honestly feel like I haven't even begun."
