The 28-year-old "Euphoria" star has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Daniel Craig this year following his leading role in "Wuthering Heights" alongside Margot Robbie.
Now, a new cinematic Chanel commercial seems to have further fueled the rumors, as the actor showcases his spy skills in a video released on Friday.
In the promotional video, Jacob looks dapper in a black suit and tie as he becomes the target of a masked burglar attempting to steal Chanel's latest product.
It begins with the Hollywood star opening a safe to retrieve a bottle of Bleu De Chanel L’Exclusif, only for it to be swiftly snatched by a beautiful woman in a lace mask.
Jacob then begins to pursue the thief, and the pair demonstrate their acrobatic skills while playing a sensual game of cat and mouse to recover the perfume.
Fans rushed online when the ad was released, with many believing it was a "soft launch" for the announcement of Jacob as the new James Bond.
"I think they are preparing us for the James Bond announcement," one user wrote.
"Jacob is giving Bond vibes," someone else commented, while another added: "Is this a spoiler for the new James Bond?"
"Okay, he has that spy aura," one fan noted.
