I think you'll find I'm not.
The lovely Rufus Sewell.

Nice! Good find.

Igmum · 10/02/2020 21:30

Well, I'm not saying YABU, but could we see him in clingy swimming trunks emerging from the waves? Just to be sure? Please? Grin

DrWAnker · 10/02/2020 21:30

You are mistaken.
He's lovely but the new Bond is James Norton.
Watch McMafia if you haven't already.

IDRIS ELBA is bond! 😍

Rosspoldarkssaddle · 10/02/2020 21:35

Noooo the new Bond is Ragnar from Vikings. Those baby blues......

Sidge · 10/02/2020 21:35

No no no.

It should be Charlie Hunnam.

DrWAnker · 10/02/2020 21:38

Ok. So we need to see them all emerging from the ocean in the orange budgie smugglers to accurately assess their suitability.

YouTheCat · 10/02/2020 21:38

Charlie Hunnam is overrated.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 10/02/2020 21:39

Idris Elba would be lush!

YesThisIsMe · 10/02/2020 21:39

I adore Rufus Sewell (have watched him on stage many times, regardless of whether I’m interested in the actual the play) but he’s best seen fully clothed in a nice suit and Bond needs to be Speedo-friendly.

Cocolapew · 10/02/2020 21:39

Sorry Igmum, I did look but can't find any Sad
He's definitely improved with age.
Sidge, Charlie is too young.

Either Rufus Sewell or James Norton would be a good shout, to be honest.

Much as I love Idris Elba (and boy do I love that man!) I don't think he is James Bond.

Sidge · 10/02/2020 21:42

@Cocolapew he’s nearly 40, just the right age to be a secret agent 😁

@YouTheCat you wash your mouth out! He is fine

Butternutsqoosh · 10/02/2020 21:42

I just met Rufus Sewell about 2 weeks ago 😍 terribly handsome!

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 10/02/2020 21:42

Rufus is older than Daniel Craig. I think he may be a little too old to be starting a stint as bond.
(Plus he's a baddy, remember how he treated Kate in the holiday...)

40!? Still no though.
Butternut Shock, tell all.

Oh God no, he’s horrific. There’s something odd about his face - I don’t think it’s symmetrical. All kinds of wrong!

YesThisIsMe · 10/02/2020 21:44

Still not forgiven the BBC Drama controller who cancelled Zen. Each year in January I think “what I could really do with watching on the telly is Rufus Sewell in a well-cut suit driving round Italy in the sunshine, flirting with well-dressed ladies and solving the occasional murder if he can spare the time.”

Cocolapew · 10/02/2020 21:44

52 is not old. To those of us that are 51.

Hunnam went to dd's school. She doesn't rate him either.

Henry Cavill would be good.
