NICOLA Sturgeon has been left shocked as old images of her next to the man rumoured to be the next 007 resurfaced.
If reports are to be believed, English actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to succeed Daniel Craig as the iconic spy James Bond.
Known for his roles in Kick-Ass and for playing John Lennon in Nowhere Boy, Taylor-Johnson also starred as James Douglas in Outlaw King – the Netflix film about Robert the Bruce.
But people watching a Sky News report on the showbiz news were met with a surprise: Nicola Sturgeon in the middle of the scene.
Taking to Twitter/X, Sturgeon said: “Things I didn’t expect to see today – me in the background of shots of (if reports are to be believed) the new James Bond.”
It seems the pair were at a promotional event for Outlaw King as they’re both watching on as Chris Pine, who played Robert the Bruce, speaks to the media.
Many took to the comments to ask if Sturgeon was up for a starring role in the next Bond movie.

“Are you going to be M,” asked one user while another encouraged her to “call your agent”.
“The name’s Sturgeon … Nicola Sturgeon,” said a third.
We know that the former first minister is busy writing a book about her time in office – but maybe she'll be able to find time for a new role.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
