Alfie Allen in 2019: He wanted James Bond to be his next on-screen assassin

Rewinding the clock to a past conversation with Alfie Allen, one can't ignore his peculiar wish: being killed on-screen by the enigmatic agent, James Bond. As reported by Mashable in 2019, Allen's comment made during an interview about his character, Isaac Pincher, in Hulu's "Harlots" continues to generate intrigue.

The Star's Fate Sealed in 'Harlots'

In the show, set in the brothels of Georgian London, Allen's character, Isaac Pincher, is falsely assumed to have murdered the main character Charlotte Wells. Isaac, a complicated character with criminal inclinations and deep emotions, meets a dramatic end on the banks of the Thames. As Allen puts it, "That's kind of what got him killed in the end".

Isaac’s fate, his murder by the dominatrix he was entangled with, sent waves through the show's narrative. It was a harsh fate, yet, as Allen mentioned, "he did have honest intentions until the end. Not to defend Isaac!"

‘James Bond' in Allen's Crosshairs

When asked about his frequent on-screen deaths and who he'd want to be his next killer, Allen jokingly said, "Maybe James Bond. That would be cool, to be killed by James Bond." This statement gave fans an interesting insight into Allen's perspective, indicating his admiration for the legendary character.

In the interview, Allen also shared his views on being part of Harlots, a show dominated by female creativity. When asked about the difference between working with an all-female creative team and his previous experiences, he remarked, "It’s not something that happens that often. So to be a part of that is great."

Looking back, the past interview presents a fascinating glimpse of Allen's career at that time, punctuated with his whimsical wish to meet his on-screen end at the hands of the 'next James Bond'. Who knows, as we eagerly anticipate the new James Bond, perhaps Allen's wish might still come true. It certainly adds a layer of intrigue to future casting possibilities for the beloved Bond series.
