weesaidie, I didn't say Sean wasn't gorgeous, I said he wasn't handsome! (And he wasn't really. R Moore was, and Jude Law is, but Sean and Daniel C were/are just phwoarr.)

weesaidie · 13/10/2005 20:45

Well I think he was handsome too! lol. Not so keen on Roger Moore.

Don't know how Daniel Craig will be but I am assuming he has done screen tests, etc, and has done well?

monkeytrousers · 14/10/2005 09:24

Dan's the man.

teeavee · 14/10/2005 09:36

I like the look of James Purefoy very much - never seen him act though

Dan was the villain in The Road to Redemption, which I saw again on telly recently. He's certainly a very good actor, and could probably inhabit any role convincingly - but that's not the main criterion for becoming a Bond though is it.

monkeytrousers · 14/10/2005 09:39

I think he's a bit rough to be honest.

weesaidie · 14/10/2005 10:07

James Purefoy - phwoooar - was in A knights Tale and more recently Vanity Fair. I just love him. (ooh, look, he's divorced!)

well im not going to see it thats for sure

teeavee · 14/10/2005 14:47

Last time i went to see a bond film in cinema, I was 12

i hope craig brings back some roger moore-style camp to the role

JanH · 14/10/2005 15:04

Love this bit from the Times:

?Eric Bana was deemed not handsome enough, Hugh Jackman too fey, Colin Farrell too sleazy and Ewan McGregor too short,? the memo said.

Chortle.

teeavee · 14/10/2005 15:06
  • they make it sound as if he's joining the flippin royal family or sthing
hunkerpumpkin · 14/10/2005 15:09

I thought Pierce Brosnan was Bond better than anyone. He just looked the part.

This guy's not the same.

RTKMonherBROOMSTICK · 14/10/2005 17:14

he mings. And he's a crater-face.

why oh why oh why couldn't it be:

a) Clive Owen (my mate's dad used to be his English teacher y'know...)

or

b) Christian Bale (a teeny bit creepy, but lush with it)

nailpolish · 14/10/2005 17:33

im tellin' ya, it should have been the robster

JoolsToo · 14/10/2005 22:55

not impressed (even if he is a norvener)

teeavee · 14/10/2005 22:59

I reckon he'ss surprise us all, and everyone will end up saying he's the best ever

Whizzz · 14/10/2005 23:03

But what has this guy done ? Never heard of him !

You can't beat Pierce Brosnan, unless with Clive Owen or some other tall dark hunk !

JanH · 14/10/2005 23:04

He's been in one or two things you might have heard of, Whizzz...

teeavee · 14/10/2005 23:07

i'd never heard of Brosnan before he became Bond

Roobie · 14/10/2005 23:08

I love Daniel Craig .... check him out in Enduring Love (fab film, even fabber book) and Layer Cake. We've got Our Friends in the North on video and watch it all the way through every few years or so.

MrsSpoon · 14/10/2005 23:09

I'm with NP, it should have been Robbie, he would have made a fantastic James Bond, drool, drool. Either that or stick with Pierce, he was rather nice too.

aloha · 14/10/2005 23:10

I'm absolutely gobsmacked that anyone couldn't think he was sexy. He just is.

MrsSpoon · 14/10/2005 23:11

I do agree with Roobie about Enduring Love but don't think he comes over as charismatic enough for Bond (although I'm sure he can probably do charismatic).
