He's a great actor, and he made ace Bond. But - Bond is not blonde. Fact.

Roll on Aidan Turner.

'Bond is not blonde.'

Fuck, I was hoping Idris Elba would be the next Bond. He's not blond, either.

I would love Idris Elba to be the next Bond!

Personally I think Daniel Craig did a great job as Bond. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though I think the 'bond shouldn't be blonde' argument is a bit weak.

DC is so not Bond.

Bond is tall, dark, handsome.

DC is attractive, but he does look like a rough hod-carrier from Blackburn.

Roll on Jon Hamm!!!

I didn't think he made a great bond. He had some good scripts but I don't rate him as an actor and he isn't my type either!

I can't think of any of the touted candidates I wouldn't prefer tbh

Idris Elba would make a great Bond. Who else?

I don't get that, if Daniel Craig was a great bond which he was then it shows it doesn't matter that he was not blond.

I am glad he is resigning too though, I didn't enjoy Spectre as much as the others and I would welcome some one new and their spin on it.

Another one that thinks Idris Elba

Nope, I heard an interview with him after the latest one and he just whinged about being Bond all the way through. So ungrateful! I'm sure plenty of other actors would have been overjoyed to be Bond.

Shoulda been Clive Owen.

He's a bit long in the tooth now, mind.

My mum has a thing for Hamm, but he's American.

I could sit through a couple of hours of Henry Cavill.

I heard talk of them moving back to the sixties for the new bond films. In that case idris Elba wouldn't work so well and you would need someone more 'retro' handsome

If they keep it in the current day I think they could have an actor of any race as long as he meets the criteria of handsome and suave! And not too young. Has to be at least 30 if not 40!

Clive Owen has a funny run. I noticed in The Chancer.

But he should be in everything.

Daniel Craig looks like someone's drawn Sid James' face on a scrotum.

I don't like Bond films but I think it should be a woman.

Or is that Doctor Who?

I dont care about his care colour in fact when I always felt let down by him as bond it was the essence that lacked for me, the hair colour never ever crossed my mind.

The man said he would rather - cut his own wrists than be bond again" and I think this showed in his acting of the role.

you need a simmering tantalizing man, with a captivating smile and depth and dark thoughts, we need Aiden Turner, Micehal fassbender..someone like them...

agree sparkly what a career honor to be bond, wasted on him, wasted!

sorry not getting Irdis AT ALL Confused

In the opening scene of spectre when he is wearing the skeleton suit - he had a funny wiggle to his walk

I thought he was hot as Bond and I don't even like Bond that much! Aid the hair every time he kissed a woman in Spectre I got Fanny gallops Blush
I'd love to see Sean Pertwee as Bond but o suspect he might be a bit older than fans would like.

I don't get why Idris Elba is flavour of the month really. He's a fairly talented actor. Quite good looking. But he's not posh enough for Bond.

I liked him, but I think it's time for a new bond.

Would love Idris Elba or possibly Aidan Turner (good choice op).

I must admit I enjoyed spectre far more than his other turns as bond, spectre seemed like the format of the older bonds, the other recent ones have just been an action film.

nah not sean pertwee!

Well I did think Idris, but then I discover Aidan at Christmas. Changed my mind pretty quick I can tell you. Phwarh . Iris can still be in Bond, still like him though not too impressed with real life behaviour I got told about today; tell me nothing about Aidan please

I think Daniel was a brilliant Bond. No matter how blond.

Forgot to say, Aidan Turner would fit the bill nicely.

Idris all the way, or Benedict Cumberbatch...

Can't stand Bond movies but I thought Craig was good.
