The former president has signed with Creative Artists Agency in a return to the company that represented him from 2017 to 2020.

Mr Biden was represented by CAA during Donald Trump's first term as president. During that time, he published his memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year Of Hope, Hardship And Purpose.

The agency is well known for its star-studded lineup, representing celebrities like Meryl Strep and Formula 1 team Red Bull Racing.

Mr Biden has kept a low profile in the weeks following his departure from the White House having been spotted at his home in Delaware and remains in contact with former aides and associates.

This signing represents a significant step in Mr Biden's post-presidency career, as the first-time great-grandfather prepares for his next move.

He is not the only ex-president on CAA's books.
