Miles Tellerโ€˜s grandma has launched a campaign for him to be the next James Bond.

The โ€˜Whiplashโ€™ starโ€™s relative Leona Flowers โ€“ who goes by the nickname Mup โ€“ is convinced her grandson is the perfect replacement for Daniel Craig who stepped down from the role of 007 after the release of his final film โ€˜No Time To Dieโ€™ โ€“ so sheโ€™s taken to Twitter to get her message across.

In a post on the social media site, Leona insisted Miles is the right man for the job, writing: โ€œTheyโ€™re looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies.

โ€œI think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything theyโ€™re looking for โ€“ talent, looks, strength, worldwide appeal oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldnโ€™t he be great?โ€

Many of her followers agreed with her, but some pointed out that Bond has historically been played by British actors while Miles is American.

However, Leona is adamant her 35-year-old grandson is great with accents and could easily convince moviegoers heโ€™s a Brit.

She added: โ€œHe could make you think he was (British) โ€ฆ And lots of Europeans have played Americans. He studied acting which includes accents. Heโ€™d be great.โ€

It comes after James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli insisted they havenโ€™t got anyone in mind for the role yet as they are still deciding what to do with 007.

She told Deadline.com: โ€œNobodyโ€™s in the running. Weโ€™re working out where to go with him, weโ€™re talking that through. There isnโ€™t a script and we canโ€™t come up with one until we decide how weโ€™re going to approach the next film because, really, itโ€™s a reinvention of Bond. Weโ€™re reinventing who he is and that takes time. Iโ€™d say that filming is at least two years away.โ€
