Aaron recently tackled the rumours and said he wanted to work on the projects in front of him.
He told Esquire: ‘I have to go by the beat of my own drum. It’s my own path, what feels intuitive to me.
‘I’ve never made a decision based on other people’s perspectives, or their judgments, or their expectations. You lose your f**king mind if you do that. Your sense of worth and soul is gone.
‘You need to understand what is integral to you and what feels right, and you’ve got to stay on track with what’s present in front of you. Kraven is what’s in front of me.’
‘On the thought of considering James Bond as a future role, he added: ‘I just focus on the things I can have in my hands right now. What’s in front of me right now.’
