Damian Lewis is the favourite to play the next James Bond. What do you think?

I know most secret agents probably look like John Major but I do think the fictional ones at least should be suave and sophisticated. Damian Lewis looks as though he should be working for the council, in charge of assigning allotments or something equally as dangerous.

I just can’t imagine him arse kicking and seducing his way across the world in pursuit of the baddies. He looks as though he'd stop mid scrap to tell the villains that his bad hip was at him and could they please reschedule.

Are you a fan of the smug mouthed one?

James Norton can do menacing, Happy Valley anyone? But otherwise looks too wholesome public schoolboy. But maybe in a few years when DC steps down, he might be more rugged etc.

Oh yes, James Norton is HOT!

Vincent Cassel would be a good Bond villain (I loved Mesrine) as would Edgar Ramirez and Daniel Brühl.

I'm going Rufus Sewell for Bond. Would love Tom Burke, but I don't think that will happen.

Just been rewatching the 2011 Jane Eyre and came on here to say Michael Fassbender Wink and u see he's already been mentioned a few times! I think Cluve Owen would have been perfect but I guess he's a little too old for the part now Sad

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 20:25

Tom Burke looks like an adult Adrian Mole.

Ew, don't like James Norton at all, too chiselled (and blond).

Rufus Sewell is too beautiful! Haven't we been through this???

I tell you, it should be Richard Armitage. It won't be, but it should.

WyrdByrd · 17/06/2015 21:14

I agree Tam, but I don't think it'll happen in a million years desperately tries to tempt fate

Anyone said Theo James yet?

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 21:19

My favourite suggestions are Idris and Aidan Gillen (if he could beef up a bit).

Me Theoretical. There was a deep and meaningful discussion but no takers :(

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 21:26

There's not much going on behind those eyes I'm afraid, pretty as they are.

How big is Aidan? Saw him walking down the road a while back and he didn't seem that small.

He was a right meanie in Love/Hate

Moln · 17/06/2015 21:40

Theo is nice looking but too smooth handsome to be Bond.

Dfg15 · 17/06/2015 21:51

I love Idris Elba but he can't be Bond ! Bond is of Scottish descent and is definitely not black. Nor ginger or definitely not Daniel Craig. He has black hair and is sophisticated but with a hint of menace. I read all the books when I was at school and Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were the vest and most like the descriptions in the books

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 21:53

Moln you lucky thing, I'd have had a sneaky lick of his face as he walked past. Only a gentle lick, so gentle he'd barely have noticed and therefore I'd have avoided arrest.

Not Aiden 'guess the accent of the day' Gillen. DH worked with him on Queer As Folk and reports he's so far up himself he can see the back of his own teeth.

Wishful80smontage · 17/06/2015 22:01

flour that made me laugh hard then :)
iklboo I'm so jealous if your husband right now Queer as folk is one of my all time favourite programmes!

Moln · 17/06/2015 22:03

He was on the other side of the road, not at a lickable distance I have to report.

He walks super straight, enough for me to notice any way.

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 22:03

iklboo I refuse to believe it!

Although from now on whenever I gaze upon his lovely face there'll be a little whispery voice in my head saying 'remember that person on the internet whose husband thought he was a twat.................'

Grin Mitzy

Aiden gillen is 5.10
How tall does bond need to be ?

Moln · 17/06/2015 22:09

6ft.

He could wear heels?

Wishful80smontage · 17/06/2015 22:10

Right Daniel Craig is 5.10.
Simon baker is also 5.10 and micheal fassbender is 6ft so my suggestions meet the height if nothing else :)
