Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Romance a Scam to Help Actor Land James Bond 2016 Role?

The internet was sent into a frenzy when Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston romance rumors surfaced, just days after the "Shake it Off" singer called it quits with long-time boyfriend Calvin Harris.

Not everyone was happy with the new development in Tay Tay and Tom's life, with some even bashing the singer for allegedly toying with Calvin's heart. Now that the interwebs is deeply involved in their love story, sources are starting to claim that Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston could be doing all this for PR purposes.

As fans already know, Tom has been eyed to take Daniel Craig's place as James Bond. Previous James Bond 2016 rumors claimed that Tom is already at the forefront, so a little more publicity won't hurt. Page Six noted that Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli was seen meeting with Tom in May. Outgoing Bond director Sam Mendes even noted that Broccoli was the person to impress for the role, saying she "chooses who's going to be the next Bond: end of story."

The timing of Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston's whirlwind romance even suggests that this could be PR set-up from the beginning. All the hype started when the two were seen dancing at the MET Gala, and fans didn't stop talking ever since. Reports claimed that while it seems to be mere coincidence, the events that happened after their first encounter seem to be really calculated.

Tom recently addressed rumors about him being the top bet for James Bond 2016. The actor claimed that it was very flattering to be considered for the role, but he has not been offered anything yet.

"I think it has come about because in The Night Manager I play a spy, and we all know the iconography of British culture; there is a spy that we all know and his name is James Bond," the actor said in his recent "The Graham Norton Show" appearance. So people have made the link."

"No, no one's talked to me at all," he clarified.

Do you think the Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston romance is just a PR scam?
