Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly 'obsessed' with getting his wife, Lauren Sanchez, cast as the next Bond girl.
Bezos and Sanchez married earlier this year in a huge event that took over the Italian tourist hotspot of Venice.
However, after tying the knot, it appears Bezos has set his sights on a new role for his wife.
The billionaire is reportedly looking to get Sanchez cast in one of the most lusted-after roles in Hollywood - as a Bond girl.
“He’s obsessed,” a Hollywood insider told Rob Shuter's newsletter.
“This isn’t just fantasy casting — Jeff wants her on screen, period.”
It's reported that Bezos wants his wife 'front and centre' of the project.
“She’s not an actress,” a studio executive said. “But she’s Jeff’s muse, and when you spend $8 billion, you get what you want.”
Bezos' Amazon acquired MGM Studios for $8 billion back in 2021, giving the 61-year-old a lot of power over what will go on in the 26th instalment of the franchise.
Sanchez may not be an actress, but is instead a former journalist turned author, who also has a pilot's licence and is the founder of Black Ops Aviation.
