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

Richard Madden please

Rufus is beautiful. I think he would be a good Bond, maybe kink it up a bit. Same for Idris.

Claes, I hate to say, is too good and too interesting for Bond. And he’s so European, there’s nothing quintessentially English about him. He’s a fucking ride though and I would watch him in a video about bum ointment.

Richard Madden could be a good choice though.

Although Santiago cabrera would be amazing. If only he was British. Sad

@Rebellenny his English accent was really, really impressive in Dracula but I knew he was Danish from kick off so that may have influenced my not seeing him as English.

God, what are they putting in the water in Scandinavia? They churn out some fine quality of men!

Another vote for Mr. Elba from me!!

DrWAnker · 11/02/2020 19:54

Graham Norton for Bond 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You’re all mistaken it’s Harvey Spector from Suits 😍 he’s drop dead gorgeous

Rufus Sewell's 52, so probably too old. Not because he's not up to it, but they tend to want actors to commit to 5 films, and that's about 15-years worth. He'd be 67 by the time they did the last.

I think James Norton or Henry Cavill are most likely, they're both just about well-known enough, without being too famous.

Is it just me, or does Rupert Friend look like Fergal Sharkey(sp)?

Another vote for Claes Bang. Bond needs to have a hairy chest.

And the accents! I have several Scandi colleagues I can listen to for hours! And a lilting Dutchman. And a dreamy Canadian...

He is in later series. Earlier on he was a bit slimy, but he has that special something (power, arrogance, excellent suiting). And crinkly eyes when he smiles. His actor publicity shots are gorgeous too, all tousled and bespectacled!

Can I tempt you with this one with less beard @Rebellenny? Just the right amount of cragginess, lived in look whilst not being so far over the hill he'd be wheezing after chasing you up the stairs for a bit of afternoon delight.🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Chiwetel Ejiofor would be a great Bond. He's also only 42, so the right age. Unlike Rufus Sewell, who would have been great ten years ago. Likewise Idris Elba.

Yes! Of course! Was driving me mad all through Homeland as I couldn't think who he reminded me of.

Both ferretty/weaselly.

Snort! Strongly agree. Amazing acting ability.

Duh! Liev Schreiber is Jack Reacher. Not that 2ft tall Tom Cruise. Are Producers really so stupid they'd cast TC as the 6ft+ brick shit house Jack Reacher? Clearly but W.T.A.F. I've stopped reading the books in protest. Why Lee Child allowed that casting I'll never understand. Liev mmmmmm.... Not James Bond though.

mantarays · 11/02/2020 21:16

He is beautiful. But then he was beautiful in Pillars of the Earth and Tristan and Iseult.

Cocolapew · 11/02/2020 22:07

Harvey from Suits is easy on the eye but has all the acting ability of a plank.

I have never heard of half of these people! It’s Lozza Fox for me. Smile
