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

minesapintofwine · 23/10/2015 23:28

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

minesapintofwine · 23/10/2015 23:36

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???

minesapintofwine · 23/10/2015 23:38

Oo YES Idris Elba now you're talking I 'get' him. Good in interviews too.

minesapintofwine · 23/10/2015 23:39

littlelion am dying to know who your normal crush is.

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.

DS is watching Skyfall and I am slowly losing the will to live
