No question. He must be James Bond.

Yabu. Idris Elba. That is all.

run2 · 17/03/2015 20:19

No - he should not be sullied!

SidewalkSerferGirl · 17/03/2015 20:22

i have often thought that, ever since Being Human began, next big thing I reckon,
Amen i am with you all the way on that one :)

Finola1step · 17/03/2015 20:24

Idris! Idris! Idris!

I loved him as Stringer Bell.

phlebasconsidered · 17/03/2015 20:24

I would love him to go all vampiric in Poldark. A Being Human / Poldark mash up.
I would watch him in anything, but he's a great actor, he needs big screen time in roles that give him a bit of oompf. I'd like to see him in a Godfather-esque role, or as the new cop in the new BladeRunner.

run2 · 17/03/2015 20:27

I don't even believe he's real. I think I've dreamed him.

Yes. He needs meaty roles. Grin Write for him damn it, someone write for him.

Aiden Turner - sorry just fainted - He is lovely but not suitable as James Bond. I think Bond has become a bit of a cliché. Turner is better than that, he needs to be a higher class of detective. Perhaps Sherlock??

MsMcWoodle · 17/03/2015 21:49

Certainly not. He is wimpy. Idris please.

JoffreyBaratheon · 17/03/2015 21:51

Oh nooooo! Poldark - phwoar. I even fancied him as a dwarf. But James Bond is so boring! Don't ruin my lovely Aidan!

BolshierAyraStark · 17/03/2015 22:04

Sorry but no, not Idris either-neither of them have that certain something about them.

KingJoffreyFanciesDarylDixon · 17/03/2015 22:08

He's too good looking to be Bond.

workhouse · 17/03/2015 22:11

No no no! because then I would have to actually watch a Bond film. I hate Bond.

WyrdSmyth · 17/03/2015 22:25

Whatever role he plays it should be stipulated in his contract that he has to be bare chested in every scene

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 17/03/2015 22:26

YADNBU.

SaucyJack · 17/03/2015 22:28

Rob Kazinsky should be the next James Bond. Or Tom Hardy.

Lovebug85 · 17/03/2015 22:49

One word- Idris!!!

Pasithea · 17/03/2015 22:52

First noticed Adrian as Dante Gabriel Rossetti , where he was seriously in need of a good beasting. He is no James Bond

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/03/2015 22:58

Mum, is that you? Grin

Pasithea · 17/03/2015 23:09

Mmmmmmmmm bed time methinks Mr Rossetti. sir.

MrsPeterQuill · 17/03/2015 23:15

Nah, AT is utterly beautiful, but he isn't Bond.

Although, he would probably make a better Bond than Daniel Craig who is completely lacking in any kind of charisma or screen presence. Agree I would like to see someone like Idris Elba take on the role.

RandomNPC · 17/03/2015 23:18

Paterson Joseph playing Bond as Johnson from Peep Show please.

NettleTea · 17/03/2015 23:40

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

AWholeLottaNosy · 17/03/2015 23:45

Wish he'd been Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Smut. Oh my! Smile
