In saying I've found the new James Bond?

[Cocolapew]

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

James Norton or Liev Schreiber for me.

Cavill did his own stunts in Witcher and would have in Mission Impossible fallout but Tom Cruise apparently forbade it (someone's ego in jeopardy me thinks!). So I think Henry Cavill is definitely athletic enough...

Rupert everitt looks more like he should be a bad guy!

@rebel Jude Law is pushing 50 soon too isn't he? I'm sure he's only a couple of years younger than me. Not sure he's quite rugged enough. Liev is a good call!

Oh and he is only 36 so a perfect age to get a couple of Bond movies in at least!

I was going to say Michael McFadden or Rupert Armitage from spooks. Let’s face it, they’ve already had the training.

Or Allen Leech, who played Tom in Downton Abbey.

IheartNiles "James Norton or Liev Schreiber for me."

HANDS OFF LIEV! He is mine.

I'll say it again - this time with a photo (I hope!) Penn Badgley. Did you see him playing Jeff Buckley in Greetings from Tim Buckley?

He’s gorgeous.

Off to do more googling.

How about this Aneurin Barnard? Can't decide if he's just too handsome..

So handsome that I forget punctuation 😂

Rufus is too old and not good looking enough.

They should go a lot younger, like Taron Egerton. But since he did kingsmen I doubt he could do bond now.

Train Egerton is good but is he handsome enough?

Bloody autocorrect 🙄

He's better looking than Daniel Craig. Dunno about in a speedo though

Rupert Friend

• impeccable accent
• tall
• ludicrously charismatic
• not too old
• can act
• nice body
• good with and without facial hair

@GrumpyHoonMain oh shit, Nikesh Patel would be perfect. Now I can never think of anyone else.

Ooh yes Taron Egerton would be great.

Hiddleston

Age is definitely against a lot of the actors mentioned. I would love Idris Elba to be Bond for a couple of films, but otherwise James Norton would be perfect.

Richard armitage

@Rosspoldarkssaddle I'm not sure he's the same with hair

I lost track of who was being suggested for Bond when Richard Osman was suggested for Q. Now that's perfect casting.

Rubbish suggestions, you're all wrong. Rupert Friend was nicknamed Weasle Boy by me on the Homeland threads.
He's v pretty Cowboy.
