At a press junket promoting "Kingdom of Heaven" this morning in Los Angeles, British heart throb Orlando Bloom gave a surprising answer in regards to recent rumours that he was being pursued for a young James Bond movie franchise.

"I'm not doing young James Bond" he said, "My manager, my agent have never mentioned it to me, not to date. Young or old it has never been mentioned to me. I don't know where that came from, but I've never heard a whiff of it" said Bloom.

The rumours that were out there had him starring in "Silverfish" as a young James Bond who during break from college learns of dangerous genetic experiments going on at a remote castle.
