The source added that that the James Bond producers are looking for someone who has an established name in America and known all over the world.

Tom Hiddleston is popular in the U.K., but he has not made it big in Hollywood yet. Hence, being linked to Taylor Swift could make him a universally known actor, and that can help him secure the role.

"Tom's not silly. He knows by hooking up with Taylor he will give himself the best opportunity in securing the part," the source explained.

With this, Tom Hiddleston may be the new favorite to replace Daniel Craig compared to Aidan Turner, Idris Elba and Tom Hardy, who are also rumored to be vying to play James Bond.

Rumors about a relationship between Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston started after the two were spotted smooching while resting on a big rock near the Blank Space's hitmaker house in Rhode Island, New England.
