To not 'get' Daniel Craig

Obviously I can see the obvious appeal Grin

To coincide with the new Bond film I've discussed this a couple of times recently. I find him uncharismatic, bland as an actor, and awkward in interviews. He's just about to appear on Graham Norton and I'm already cringing.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

but I rather like the smile of the austrian guy.
very attractive

PrimalLass · 23/10/2015 23:23

I think he is rather lovely.

SaucyJack · 23/10/2015 23:25

Clive Owen shoulda been Bond.

I would literally have paid good money to see that.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 23/10/2015 23:26

Mmm never done anything for me

Yes, Clive Owen would have been an amazing bond

LunchpackOfNotreDame · 23/10/2015 23:28

Christoph Waltz is very charming. That kind of germanic easy to talk to and watch kind of personality. He has real presence

Is it all about his good looks and naice personality though? Surely as an actor it should be a bit more? Otherwise I could be famous naht

I think Spectre looks great am looking forward to seeing it, but for some of my friends it's only because of him. I so did not tell them they were shallow Grin

Enthusiasm that looks like my fringe right now after a bad diy trim.

See now I don't rate Clive Owen much either! I'm beginning to see how it really is horses for courses.

I remember years ago, fanying him in 'our friends in the north' where at one point he sleeps rough, so my friend found it funny that, in her words, 'I fancied a tramp' and could motget past that part of his character's life.

So basically, I get him!

Shakey15000 · 23/10/2015 23:35

Yes, you leave that lunchpack just there lunchpack Grin

LunchpackOfNotreDame · 23/10/2015 23:35

Know who would be amazing but would never get it because he's not posh enough?

Idris Elba

LittleLionMansMummy · 23/10/2015 23:37

I think he's the most believable, 4 dimensional Bond. And he has beautiful eyes. Ok, ok, I'm a fan! But he's not my normal crush, so I think his 'character' just does it for me. I don't care for his other characters, but as Bond he is fucking awesome. I love Bond films, but bizarrely usually disinterested in Bond himself. Not when Daniel Craig plays him.

Shall I stop banging on now???

LittleLionMansMummy · 23/10/2015 23:40

Oh my. Yes, Idris Elba for Bond.

Absentmindedwoman · 23/10/2015 23:41

Have had a thing for him since I was 19 and saw him in Layer Cake years ago [grin Love him!

Absentmindedwoman · 23/10/2015 23:41

My grin went wrong so Grin

LittleLionMansMummy · 23/10/2015 23:42

Actually you've got me minesapintofwine - i don't think I have a 'normal' crush. They just have to have 'it'.

Sparklingbrook · 23/10/2015 23:42

He does nothing for me and I am not a Bond film fan at all.

Although if Idris Elba got the job I might watch. Grin

ArcheryAnnie · 23/10/2015 23:48

Have you all seen this? It makes him about a zillion times more attractive in my eyes.

There's already a huge debate going on about Idris Elba and Bond.

MadeMan · 23/10/2015 23:52

I'm still not quite convinced of DC as Bond; he's like Norman Wisdom.
