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.

Oh my lord, Raza Jaffrey is HOT! I remember him from Spooks. Yes, he can do it.

northernsoulgirl · 15/02/2016 23:08

Tom Hiddleston please!! I don't know how to add his pic here but he is so hot and perfect

HesterShaw · 15/02/2016 23:09

Oh no! He looks like Grima Wormtongue.

TheSpottedZebra · 15/02/2016 23:10

Let's start a campaign, Hester

This can be our badge.

Oh, and Bond can't have a cat's-bum mouth, so no Damien Lewis.

LilacSpunkMonkey · 15/02/2016 23:12

Hiddleston could bulk up given the incentive. He auditioned to play Thor and was rather, erm, muscular...

HesterShaw · 15/02/2016 23:12

Yes, I'll wear that badge. I've come over all unnecessary.

SaucyJack · 15/02/2016 23:15

Not Hiddleston, no.

He looks like the kind of bloke that never goes anywhere without a Pac-A-Mac and a marmite sandwich.

Practical, yes.... but no Bond.

HesterShaw · 15/02/2016 23:16

Are we looking at the same Tom Hiddleston? Because I honestly can't see it.

See? Grima Wormtongue.

Richard Armitage
Tom Ward

LilacSpunkMonkey · 15/02/2016 23:20

No, not in Loki-mode!

In Tom-mode.

I don't know how to copy pics on my stupid tablet but Google him and you'll see what I mean.

Arf at his marmite sandwich. He could share with me anytime.

So more a Q than a double 0!

Given the current world order I think it would be really good to have a first or second generation immigrant in a bond like role. Problem is that we all know bonds back story and it would be tough to squeeze it all together. I feel the same about a woman in a way. Rather than trying to distort the back story to fit - why not come up with a new franchise? It's not like the last few bond films needed bond specifically as the back story they inserted could have been twisted to a different main character. Not sure if that makes sense but I think what I would like to see is a) bond going back to the sixties and b) a more modern spy introduced in a new franchise.

HesterShaw · 15/02/2016 23:22

I just googled "hot Welsh actors" and Aled Jones appeared. How about Aled for the next Bond?

Are we discounting Christian Bale? Is he just too famous already?

Nicebucket · 15/02/2016 23:22

YANBU.

I always felt he was horrible as Bond. Glad he's gone, hope the next one has game!

northernsoulgirl · 15/02/2016 23:22

Yes somebody please put a pic of him looking gorgeous, there are millions but I can't get my laptop to do it, he is flipping hot

northernsoulgirl · 15/02/2016 23:23

I mean of Tom Hiddleston

LilacSpunkMonkey · 15/02/2016 23:23

Forget Tom H, I'm now backing Aled Jones all the way.

And he could write the theme toon, sing the theme toon...

BYOSnowman · 15/02/2016 23:25

I think Christian bale makes grumpy DC look like an eternal optimist

I don't think barbs would survive suggesting it!!

MargotLovedTom · 15/02/2016 23:26

Why on earth is Adrian Lester getting mentioned?! He looks like Andi Peters and is about as menacing.

I think Richard Armitage or Matthew Goode if he didn't have a bit of a turtle look about him. I do love him though.

MargotLovedTom · 15/02/2016 23:27

OOOH OOOOH! Jason Isaacs and don't anybody say he's too old. He's perfect.

BYOSnowman · 15/02/2016 23:28

Matthew Goode and Tom hiddleston don't seem menacing enough
Tom ward looks like a vet. I don't know why. And I don't know why that rules him out of being bond but it just does to me

Richard arbitrage though...

Terribleknitter · 15/02/2016 23:29

Tom H dressed as the Tardis.
I would.

Another vote for Rufus Sewell. God, I loved him in sewell tristan and isolde Tristan and Isolde!
I reckon he could carry it off.

That link was rubbish: Rufus Sewell.
