First Indian actor at LACMA Gala, Roshan posed with Bond director Denis Villeneuve and fans instantly connected dots
Hrithik Roshan made history as the first mainstream Indian actor to attend the LACMA Art + Film Gala.
Hrithik wore a custom black tuxedo by Brunello Cucinelli and greeted photographers with a namaste.
The actor, hosted by venture capitalist and producer Kavita Gupta, mingled with international stars like Timothée, Nicole, Tom Hanks, Andrew Garfield, Kim and Kylie Jenner.
There he was, the first Indian actor ever invited to the gala, posing like he owned Hollywood with Nicole Kidman on one side and Dune director Denis Villeneuve on the other.
And because Villeneuve is now set to direct the next James Bond film, fans connected the dots in about two seconds! The timeline exploded with the same thought in different words: “Let’s get Hrithik sir a Bond audition now,” “Denis, please cast him as James Bond,” “Asli James Bond toh idhar hai.”
Within hours, fan edits started pouring in Hrithik in a tux holding a pistol, posters titled ‘Hrithik Roshan as James Bond’, montages from Dhoom 2 and Bang Bang cut to a Bond-style score.
Highlight: It wasn’t just photo. For fans, it was proof of what they’ve always said, he already looks, walks, carries himself like 007.
