To be glad that Daniel Craig has resigned as Bond?

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

Roll on Aidan Turner.

He's too 'boy next door' looking *Ping.

James McAvoy gives me the actual creeps. I don't know what it is but his whey faced fizzog makes me lurch for the remote.

I'm sorry Lilac but Hiddleston is a pinhead and a pinhead cannot play Bond. Wink

LilacSpunkMonkey · 16/02/2016 11:39

But...but...but...you're a pinhead!

squoosh · 16/02/2016 11:40

My skull is freakishly large so maybe I actually have pinhead envy! Grin

OnePingOnly · 16/02/2016 11:41

StillStayingClassySanDiego - I know, that's the attraction. Where do they recruit agents from then?! MI6

squoosh - whey faced ?- it's damn cold up North, a tan is the sign of the noveau riche. Senorita Marpleos there eez a body een dee biblioteca made me laugh, thanks.

Actually you're right. I only fancy him in Rush. He needs long hair and Bond couldn't possibly have long hair.

CheesyNachos · 16/02/2016 11:57

people ages ago said Clive Owen.

It simply HAS to be Clive Owen.

Although a female bond would be great.

HesterShaw · 16/02/2016 12:02

You couldn't possibly have a Bond whose name in RL was Clive! Clives work in allotments and do sterling work in the local Rotary.

When people started talking about Clive Owen years ago, I was confused. I thought they meant this man, whose name I was convinced was Clive.

CheesyNachos · 16/02/2016 12:04

Rather randomly I was thinking about the name 'Clive' yesterday and wondering if it would ever come back.

It will. Oh yes. When Clive Owen is on his second Bond film.

LilacSpunkMonkey · 16/02/2016 12:08

Grin at 'pinhead envy'.

I've always thought Clive Owen had a head like a potato but he has got decidedly less potato-headed as he's got older. Has he grown into his head?

APlaceOnTheCouch · 16/02/2016 12:14

Mmm, I like Clive Owen . . . but can I suggest Gerard Butler? Ooh, or what about Liam Neeson now that Taken has finished (of course, he would need to tear himself away from his 'incredibly famous' gf Grin )

HesterShaw · 16/02/2016 12:15

Can't have Gerard Butler, I'm afraid...he has "sex addict eyes" :o

squoosh · 16/02/2016 12:19

I know someone who enjoyed a bit of how's yer father with Clive Owen. Pretty sure it was Clive Owen and not Compo from Last of the Summer Wine Grin

limitedperiodonly · 16/02/2016 12:19

Successful screen actors have large heads in relation to body size. Allegedly. It is a thing I've heard that may have no basis in fact but I'll share it.

I've met Kiefer Sutherland and Ewan MacGregor and they bear this theory out. I've seen Tom Cruise from a distance and he seems to as well.

You can have too much of a good thing though

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 16/02/2016 12:23

Gerard Butler ,no way!

He was just the right side of okish in RocknRolla but there's something spitty about his mouth, like he has too much saliva or something.

Grim.

CaveMum · 16/02/2016 12:29

Unless they can do an utterly convincing British accent (that's not Mockney or Upper Class-Downton-esque - the only accents Hollywood seems to acknowledge) all forriners are out

Alan Rickman would have made a lovely Bond 20 years ago Sad.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 16/02/2016 12:36

My Top three candidates [for what's they're worth]

Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Andrew Lincoln.
Aidan Turner.
