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

Roll on Aidan Turner.

Daniel craig was OK but seemed like talc powder, we need a glistner someone who lights up the screen whose eyes glisten will all sorts of naughty things...

Yseulte · 15/02/2016 20:44

Moln exactly - he was sort of suave and menacing.

river Daniel Craig was pretty famous when he took over.

All though Idris is rising pretty fast into superstardom, so will probably way too famous.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 20:45

I knew AT for Bond way back but yes - seeing him in that Tux, sat there.....sealed it.

ps - dont forget Babs dated, our own James Martin didnt she Sad - shows the taste.

I really enjoyed the last few Bond films. DC was believable rather than ridiculously OTT.

Obs2016 · 15/02/2016 20:46

Love Aidan turner, but not as bond.
Most of the people suggested are too old.
Norton? Who are the young possibilities?

BYOSnowman · 15/02/2016 20:47

Bond can't be too young though - late thirties minimum

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 15/02/2016 20:48

The name's Bond.

Aworld Not on the level of Tom Hardy or Michael Fassbender he wasn't. Nothing like that. Bond took him to that level of fame. They're already there. I don't think the actor who takes over Bond can be bigger than Bond.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 20:50

but biscuit Bond isn't believable - its fantasy and escapism, I want to see that - not Bourne Again trilogy etc.

annandale · 15/02/2016 20:52

Maxine Peake...with idris elba as m

busyboysmum · 15/02/2016 20:54

Alexander Skarsgard gets my vote. He's gorgeous when mean and brooding.

Behooven · 15/02/2016 20:54

Isn't James Norton a bit too public schoolboy looking though?

Palomb · 15/02/2016 20:56

Has he? Thank goodness for that! I think he's been a crap bond. Dull as shit and not suave at all.

Idris would do it for me too.

busyboysmum · 15/02/2016 20:57

Not sure if this picture is going to post....

Either Tom hardy or Michael Fassbender would be amazing.

NewYearSameMe · 15/02/2016 21:00

Isn't Aidan Turner a little short to be Bond? I could be distracted from this by lots of bare torso footage though.

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 21:00

just throwing this out there as a curve ball....

Jason Statham Grin

AMouseLivedinaWindMill · 15/02/2016 21:01

newyear Yes AT is tiny, I think he is 5'5? I heard he could have been a jockey but the trickery of film....built in heels etc...

RiverTam · 15/02/2016 21:03

No he's not, he's about 6ft! I've seen him at a hobbit premiere stood next to Lee Pace who's 6'5 abd he didn't look that much shorter than Lee.

WhatTheActualFugg · 15/02/2016 21:05

Ahhhhhhhhh Aiden Turner as Bond....... I think I would actually weep / dribble / hyperventilate.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

YUM!!!!!

Blush
Yseulte · 15/02/2016 21:07

AT can also tango as he used to be a ballroom dancer.

~googles his height~
