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.

David Tennent would be the worse bond ever. Even thinking about it makes me sad.

Behooven · 15/02/2016 20:33

They could give the job to David Gandy. I don't care if he doesn't act, he just needs to stand there......

Aworldofmyown · 15/02/2016 20:34

I'm glad, but only because he clearly didn't want to be Bond anymore.

I would love either Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Aidan Turner.

The list is extensive!!!

"He he, thought Clive Owen was Clive James until I googled."

Hahaha!

Although I'm sure he'd give it a go- with Margarita Pracatan as Moneypenny.

Davis Tennant , there's no way he could be Bond!

He's a great air but Bond?........no way .

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 15/02/2016 20:34

*actor

Clive Owen would be awesome.

Jon Hamm could do it - after all Pearce Brosnan was a Bond and he was a Yank.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 20:35

weedy david T ! No way! not david gandy either - too obvious.

beardsrock · 15/02/2016 20:35

faints at Beehoven's pic

daniel craig was quite good as bond but then he went way too scrawny and i was totally put off that plus he began acting like a wooden puppet

SinglePringle · 15/02/2016 20:36

Nah, not Aiden Turner. Not nearly butch / macho / strong enough.

Idris gets my vote. Bond should have a touch of the menacing brute.

Theimpossiblegirl · 15/02/2016 20:37

Aidan Turner or Tom Hardy for me. Daniel Craig has been fab though.

Moln · 15/02/2016 20:39

I don't think Bond is supposed to be butch. Not in stature anyway.

Aidan Turn for new Bond. The End.

Pringle - did you see AT in 'And then there were none' at Xmas?

That's what made me see he could be Bond.

Turner!!

Glad DC is going he always seemed so sulky about the role despite the money and fame it bought him.
I say Aidan Aidan Aidan
Does Barbara Broccoli (great name) still get to choose? Can we get her email address?

Moln · 15/02/2016 20:41

Yseulte that when I first discovered Aidan (first name term us). He really could be Bond.

Inertia · 15/02/2016 20:41

What about Rupert Penry Jones? I might be persuaded to watch a Bond film with him in it.

RiverTam · 15/02/2016 20:41

Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender - they're all too famous!! Not going to happen!

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 20:42

Fairy after choosing DC I suggest gently that Barbara needs our help actually. Grin

Aworldofmyown · 15/02/2016 20:42

Ooooh yes, James Norton.
