The new 007

Gwyneth yes I can picture him now. I’d agree, he’s a good choice.
Now, I must go and try to erase the image of Graham Norton emerging from the sea in Daniel Craig’s blue swim shorts ?

grannynannywanny Graham Norton brilliant really made me ? laugh. If you’ve ever watched Granchester James Norton was the vicar . He was also in Mcmafia. He looks scrummy in black tie but Idris Elba is pretty fit as well!! These thoughts are not doing my blood pressure any good.

I was disappointed when I saw Tom Hardy as a guest at H&M’s wedding, not at all sexy as he was in Taboo. So no, not got my vote.

Sean Connery is the definitive JB, IMHO.

Aidan Turner maybe?

I'm not particularly keen on Tom

Idris would have been my choice

Brilliant actor and rather handsome too

Richard Madden would be my choice,take Bond back to his roots .

Tom Hardy is quite small I think, he only looked tall in Taboo because of the tall hat he wore.??

I don’t mind who as I don’t know most of them. I just hope they bring back that sexy twinkle and sense of humour. IMHO the last few have been far too dark and definitely not sexy. Pierce and Roger, now that’s two men I’d have invited in. I’m going for a cold hose down.

I suppose Brosnan was my favorite ..

Also a Mark Strong fan- But can't picture him as Bond- A villain perhaps!

Gwyneth your suggestion of James Norton really threw me for a couple mins. I was picturing him in the part and it just wasn’t doing it for me.
Then the penny dropped that I was conjuring up images of Graham Norton. I seriously think I’ve lost the plot lately ?

I really like Tom Hardy but think he is maybe a bit too rugged for Bond. James Norton would have been my choice of the ones mentioned in this thread

Now I'm thinking about Mark Strong. Be still my beating heart.

I always thought Mark Strong would be a good Bond but he's probably too old now.

It’s about time James Bond was a BAME actor

Sorry I don’t know who Tom Hardy is I thought Idris Elba had it in the bag

It should be someone really young. Look how DC has aged over the films he did. Not that Bond shouldn't age, I suppose. Pierce Brosnan was my favourite. Idris Elba is perhaps too butch, but he's a very good actor so he could pull it off.

Not a JB fan but I didn't like the last chap particularly and I don't think Tom Hardy will change that.
Tom Ward who used to be in Silent Witness was very handsome and would fit the bill in my eyes.

Sam Heughan was amongst those being considered- I love Idris Elba but think he looks too old to be Bond- I'm not a Connery fan- I liked Moore, Brosnan and Craig-

Skyfall is my favorite Bond tune-

Aiden Turner---he of Poldark.

Oh yes Tom Hardy in Taboo!!! Idris is lovely but maybe a little bit too old?

There is always this speculation about a new Bond- probably be someone we have never heard of.

Sorry that should read IDRIS not Iris!!! Don’t know how I made that mistake being Welsh and having an Uncle IDRIS !

I was hoping for Iris Elba or James Norton.

Idris or Tom Hardy for me!!
I wasnt keen on the others who were in the frame for the job a while back though (the one who went out with Miley Cirus - cant remember his name now !).

Idris gets my vote too!

It's no use. I just can't care.
