THEO JAMES: New James Bond (Confirmed)

yeah, not really true. blog post from May 29th and not picked up any where. Don't think so. Love him anyway.

Satire website OP.

Theo James is of Greek descent, for those who are interested.

WTF?????

It was MINE! Mine, I tell you!!!

Do you know how many cocks I sucked in Hollywood for that role???

Mother fuckers!!!!

*spits mouthwash into mirror to wash out the taste of cum*

Shirtless:

[quote]Do you know how many cocks I sucked in Hollywood for that role???

I don't know Tom: you certainly haven't sucked mine.

He looks like he'd have a pink A-hole.

He does in my imagination, r7.

True yet or not, I'd like him as Bond.

Tom Hiddleston...

It's amazing to me that Brits, along with Irishmen and Scots, can be cast to play every fucking iconic American character or personality in history, but the British xenophobia will never allow some non-fey, non-Brit or England type to play Bond. What's good for the goose is by no means good enough for their gander. And this is why we hate them.

Gawd...Hiddleston is just not sexy enough for Bond. It really needs to be Idris Elba.

Theo has a hairy Greek anus

Hiddleston needs a top lip.

R11, blame Hollywood for giving them every God damned part. I mean hell, the new "Roots" which is supposed to be about African slavery in America is chock full of Brits.

Do your homework op, FF

Hiddleston is fugly as hell. Henry Cavill is a piece of wood in a three piece suit with a tiny head and huge ass.

This is the best we can pump out?

Is Theo James what in DL is culled white adjacent?

Go away, R12. Idris Elba lost in the other thread. No one wants him. No one wants you.

He sure looks it, R18

R16, does she plan on punching her enemies in the shins?

I like the Oliver Jackson-Cohen suggestion.

Hot as hell

Poor Mr. Pamuk ...

[quote]blame Hollywood for giving them every God damned part.

Unless American audiences object, Hollywood will continue to cast Brits as American superheroes.

Ok.

Anyone who's seen any of the INSURGENT films knows that James is as dull as a dishrag. He barely emotes. Either him or Cavill would be like having another George Lazenby.

Hiddleston can desire the role all he wants, but he's no Bond.

OOOOhhh, R27 went there with Lazenby!

I totally agree, of course.

Don't care if he can act or not. He is my idea of a true hunk. I'd watch whatever he appears in just for the eye candy.

GEORGE MICHAEL said he would be honored to follow him into any mens room in the world !

A fine choice!

even more shirtless

I was in a rest room at a hotel and Theo was in the room; I dindt seem him by the urinal but out where you wash your hands; he had a sweater on and it was just hanging off of him; you could just tell he had an amazing body.

YES

Oh, yes. Yes, I would.

He doesn't look particularly African-British to me.

legs

Do Greek guys usually have hairy legs?

Theo looks like gay porn star Andy Catlin aka Daniel of Sean cody

andy aka daniel

Daniel aka Andy again

"Is Theo James what in DL is culled white adjacent? "

But if you think about it, look at young Sean Connery who was probably even darker than Theo:

And hairier:

He's hot, R40 R41, but he does not evoke the same response in me as Theo does.

Theo's mom is British, so doesn't that count?

He looks like a dull Spaniard. Do not compare this kid to Sean Connery.

I guess this hoax is just to kill the Tom Hideouston (who looks like a lizard) rumor.

[quote] I guess this hoax is just to kill the Tom Hideouston (who looks like a lizard) rumor.

At least he doesn't look like an alien.

R36 Since when is Greece in Africa?

Theo was good in Divergent. Kind of strong and menacing and very convincing in the action sequences. He is only 31 though and Bond is supposed to be 40-ish. Still prefer him to ferret faced Fiddleston.

O-kay...does everyone realize this was a JOKE, a satire website? I rather stupidly DIDN'T, till I read the Comments. Dear God...oh, well; can't wait to see who DOES get cast. Perhaps someone late 30's, early 40's would make more sense???

He looks just like Ryan Guzman. Eerie as fuck.

Meh...

we need another Bond thread as the other finished.

Tom Hiddleston is rat faced and scrawny...please don't let it be him.

OP's guy is not hot - not really good looking or masculine. Need a big tall stud akin to Liev Schreiber, with a hairy chest and a posh British accent. Someone with a few years on him, in the 38 - 42 y.o. age range.

[quote] Need a big tall stud akin to Liev Schreiber, with a hairy chest and a posh British accent.

Henry Cavill?

He's a bit muscly, R56. Not who I would picture. Though, he is a stunning beauty for sure, I don't see him as Bond. Bond needs some edge - HC is a bit of a vanilla bean...

Henry Cavill is fucking bland.

I'm over Bond. I'm not into product placement epics.

Sam Mendes said that the new Bond would be 'unexpected' - so not Hiddleston then.

Say no to these vacant-eyed ken dolls.

New "Who should be Bond?" thread.

I was pulling for Aidan Turner, but he'd actually be a great choice, rumor or not.

Big fat no for the Hiddleston guy, though. What do his fans see in him that drives the obsession?? Is it because he's actually kind of ugly and c-list, so more approachable? I don't get it.

There's a rumour now that it might be Robert Pattinson so they can draw in a younger crowd as a lot of the original Bond stans are dying out.

I think he's kind of gorgeous, personally R63. I don't know much about his acting. I think he played the bad brother on Thor?

Don't insult us R 50

This guy would be good

Pattinson killed what's left of Cronenberg's career, R64.

Why not Rocco Steele, R55?

[quote]Henry Cavill is fucking bland.

And soon to be bald

That stupid adolescent movie he was in was crap, and also that movie had a weird pedo vibe bc that actress is young or comes of as too young. It's going to be hard replacing Craig. The franchise is pretty much dead bc no believes in imperialism any more. I love Craig's blunt honesty, when he stated he would rather slash he wrist than be in another bond movie, ha ha.

[quote]Henry Cavill is fucking bland.

And no longer at the peak of his beauty.

Theo James would be a good Bond. He was on an excellent CBS cop show "Golden Boy" that was cancelled midway through first season. Very handsome and masculine. Any man who can seduce and deflower Lady Mary is well-suited for Bond.

I don't get the Hiddleston love - neither as an actor nor looks wise.

Henry Cavill has the most awkward stance when photographed that I have ever seen. He never looks cool and relaxed.

He looks like an insecure woman sticking her tits out, or some lower-class ROTC scholarship dork who maintains a bizarre personal standard of "millitary bearing at all times" because it's his only identity.

Look at a pick of him in one of his hideous suits, and tell me I'm wrong.

Gross!

Henry Cavill Should be handed Bond. no question whatsoever

[quote]Henry Cavill has the most awkward stance when photographed that I have ever seen. He never looks cool and relaxed.

The effect of the closet?

R38 He's one fourth Greek. The rest of him is English and Scottish.

Henry Cavill should be handed Bond, on the condition that he stops taking the 'roids and gets back to being a lean, mean fighting machine with cheekbones and a decent jawline instead of looking like Popeye.

Those wrinkles r77

R55 is on to something. I would LOVE to see Liev Schreiber as James Bond. Talk about outside the box, that is some creative thinking. Schreiber would be perfect. He's a fine actor, the right age, and he is sexy.

Theo James was sexy in the first Divergent. The series is shit though, Shailene Woodley is shit, and he was awful in it. They had no chemistry. The last two movies were hard to watch,and no one cared what happened to the characters. I watched Theo in some interviews, and he has a shit boring personality and is dull. I hate it when they go on these shows and try really hard to be clever. The boy is not dumb. He graduated from college and had some training, but I think he has an attitude and thinks too highly of himself.

the only other guy I might go for as James Bond would be the Game of Thrones guy, Nicolaj Coster Waldau, who plays Jamie Lannister.

[quote] Henry Cavill Should be handed Bond. no question whatsoever

Of course, Henry, if you say so. Don't you think you should be looking for your next beard instead of trying to drum up support on DL?

Wouldn't playing Bond be a step down from Superman ?

You were saying?

If you think Theo James is dull, what about Cavill? At least they wouldn't have to worry about managing a closeted actor. It's embarrassing when Cavill makes a new announcement about his new beard.

Cavill has the dumbest, deadest eyes I've ever seen on a man.

Bond is supposed to be quick in every way - plotting, scheming, verbal bars, repartee with Bond girls and villains, cat-like reflexes.

Cavill reminds me of what would have happened if Joey Lawrence had gotten the Rock Hudson Hollywood makeover.

She is an idiot and can't bring it for shit.

*Verbal barbs

Maybe he should squint more and practice looking piercingly directly into the camera.

Surprisingly that can make people seem smarter in photos.

Craig was a fantastic Bond because he wasn't what you'd expect.

Cavill is exactly what you'd expect as Bond. So dull. He'd be a terrible choice.

Would Theo James be the first non-white James Bond? Would Henry Cavill be the first one with a womanly ass?

Theo's natural habitat is London. He is of British, Scottish and Greek descent. He has poor management, having made some garbage movie with Amber Heard which is so bad it can't even find a distributor. In fact after a promising start as a TV police detective, he hasn't done much of note.

The Divergent Series is terrible, and a disappointment at the box office. His movies open in February or March which says it all IMO. If Theo James wants a future in acting, he ought to consider finding a good British TV series, and rebuild his career. He is in his 30's if I'm not mistaken.

Henry Cavill is taller than Theo. And if Henry could just get back to his roots as Charles Brandon, BFF of King Henry 8th, he would make a wonderful Bond. Actually it's Charles Brandon who would be a fine James Bond. Henry Cavill, not so much.

My foodness, Kit Harington would be a good James Bond if they make a miniature version. Or How about Peter Dinklage. Now that would be a change.

The gays are tennis.

Murray will win Wimbledon AND the US Open.

R92, do you mean London Fields, the film where the director sued the producer? It's such a brilliant novel and Martin Amis even co-wrote the script; I was looking forward to seeing it - but then it got such a bad reception at a small showing in Cannes that it was shelved. I think that film set was where Johnny Depp met Amber Heard.

Apparently they set the novel in 1999 but had footage of 9/11, and there were other jarring anachronisms.

The last time they used a nobody was George Lazenby. Just sayin'.

London Fields was shown at the Toronto Film Festival but I'm not sure if it was ever released in the US. It got terrible reviews. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was supposed to appear in it but was fired within days of shooting. I read in the comments of Deadline that he showed up on the set drunk. JRM also initially agreed to appear in The Secret Scripture directed by Jim Sheridan but then withdrew. He was replaced by Theo James. I think it has been completed for over a year but not US release date yet.

Apparently Aidan Turner is now the favourite to be Bond. He looks dreadful with a full beard but quite sexy when clean shaven.

I have never seen one James Bond to me ever. It's just the one franchise that has no appeal to me whatsoever.

You're maybe too young for Bond, 1979. That's why they need a younger Bond like James or Turner to rejuvenate the franchise.

When Bond first came on the scene he was unique. Now you have Jason Bourne and other similar. Bonf created a whole genre of movies, spy thrillers with lots of special effects and a unique eccentric villain.

Bonf!

I could roll with Aidan, R97.

He'll probably be shit, but at least he doesn't have the punchable face of Hiddleston, or the empty, yet fat, three piece suit of La Cavill.

I'd watch it if he made a Bond movie.

Yep, Aidan is easy on the eyes and an OK actor. Hiddleston is just too gingery and ferret-faced, Cavill too fat and too linked to Superman.

Aidan seems more masculine that Hiddleston or Cavill, definitely more sexual.

And DEFINITELY more of that menacing/possibility for suave wit type.

Of course, that's setting the bar fairly low, and he probably won't deliver, but he's miles ahead of Hiddleston or Cavill - in photos at least.

Aidan is too good for Bond

I hope he doesn't take it.

[quote], the empty, yet fat, three piece suit of La Cavill

[quote] Cavill too fat and too linked to Superman.

I don't get why Cavill is considered fat. In what ways is he fat? He may be many things but fat I don't see.

Look at him, R107.

Tiny head.

Boobs. Awkward. Dumb as a bag of hair.

ENORMOUS, and I do mean ENORMOUS ass, and not in a good way.

Tiny head + fat ass + moobs = Not Bond.

Cavill is thick

Is Fat Cavill an insatiable bottom? Is that what we've decided?

[quote] ENORMOUS, and I do mean ENORMOUS ass, and not in a good way.

What's a "good way" when it comes to asses?

Well I'm not into big, muscular butts, R11, but plenty of guys are - and that's a legitimate choice.

Fat Cavill's ass is just fat, like a secretary's.

I go for the tall, lean, British aristo look, but wouldn't call a muscular ass fat.

Fat Cavill is the definition of the word lummock.

Thanks, R112.

Hiddleston looks like a butler in R106 's photo compared to Aidan.

I'm not some Aidan superfan, never even seen anything he's been in. But Hiddleston and Fatty Cavill are just the worst possible choices ever.

No.

Even if Aidan's talent is strictly S&Ming, it would be better than the other two.

[quote] How the hell can there be 52 per cent that say no? His ass is so fucking huge and womanly. How can some of you not see it? And It's not only his ass. His fat tits too. By the time he's 38, he'll have a beer belly and an ass even fatter than it is right now. I'm glad he has an ass like this tho. So incredibly hot. He should show it off a lot more, using tighter pants or leggins.

R102 or R103, did you write the above?

No, R115. It sounds like your quote is from the tiresome Womanly Ass Troll.

R102 (but not R103)

I'm still open to a dark horse candidate, but at least they're going in the right direction with Aidan (assuming this isn't just rumor).

FYI, R115, the pathetic Womanly Ass Troll thinks fat, gross asses are hot, which is sometimes unclear unless you read all the way through his insane ramblings (see the end of your quote for reference).

The ones of us saying Fatty Cavill has a fat, unattractive ass and shouldn't be Bond, do NOT find this hideous characteristic appealing in any way.

Turner is a good actor and is good looking (like a less ethereal version of Ian Somerhalder). However, he seems too boyish for the part. Of those pictured at R106, I can see Fassbender and Damian Lewis making the role their own and taking it in their own direction. Cavill looks the part but doesn't have the talent to make it something original or fresh. He's this generation's Roger Moore, and even Roger Moore had more charm, personality and talent. Tom Hardy is too working class to make it work well. Hiddleston is a very good actor, but he looks to goofy for Bond. Idris Elba and David Oyelowo are suave, good actors and can also take the role in their own direction, but I don't see a large segment of the movie-going public (including important Asian audiences) accepting of a black Bond. Studio executives sensitive to revenue will not do anything to harm revenue and are ultra sensitive to anything or anyone who might. Gillian Anderson - same except for women. A female M or a male Moneypenny have been and could be accepted because they are secondary characters.

[quote] The ones of us saying Fatty Cavill has a fat, unattractive ass and shouldn't be Bond, do NOT find this hideous characteristic appealing in any way.

Hideous? That bad, eh?

Damian Lewis is really, really, criminally ugly.

I'm sorry, but he is. Fassbender could be OK, possibly.

We need a young slimlined Bond. After Craig.

[quote] Damian Lewis is really, really, criminally ugly.

Agreed.

I'll take anyone as long as it's not that goofy, overly sincere idiot Tom Hiddleston.

Fassbender has said repeatedly in the past that he would not do Bond but with the way his career has been going ....

Craig and Fassbender are no beauties either.

Fassbender can pull off the fights (I'm thinking of his knock down/drag out fight scene with Gina Carano in "Haywire". But Bond needs to be suave and I don't get that from Hiddleston, definitely not Lewis. Turner has the look but is a lightweight.

Is Matthew Goode too old/too waiflike for Bond?

At least Aidan is young and dashing. And a good actor.

[quote] Fassbender can pull off the fights (I'm thinking of his knock down/drag out fight scene with Gina Carano in "Haywire".

Both Fassbender and Hiddleston would make good Bond villains. If Cavill is chosen as Bond, it would be delicious to see Fassbender, as the gay or crypto-gay villain, fighting Carano, his henchwoman and, in real life, Cavill's former "girlfriend", fighting over Cavill/Bond.

I wasn't buying Craig at first when he was announced way back when.

But after I watched Layer Cake, I saw he could bring the dark side, so I saw the first few Bonds with him that were relatively well-reviewed.

Hiddleston, Fat Cavill, and Damian Lewis I've seen, and trust me, they have zero of what it would take to be even today's somewhat watered-down Bond.

Fuck those guys, sorry.

Oh. My. God.

I just figured out why Fat Cavill looks awkward as fuck in all his photos with his terribly stiff stance.

He's trying to do Superman/Clark Kent Realness in actual life!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh! My sides!!!

That's it, that's what it is!

Aidan Turner, please.

I don't actually watch Bond films, I'm just making a personal request.

Why did Aidan bother with the sheet?

Hiddy Hiddleston looks like a waiter in Chelsea.

15 years ago.

Aidan can get it, from some of these photos. I've never actually heard him speak.

He should go swimming though, to get that long, lean, ropy muscle look.

Wasn't Henry Cavill called a fat ass at school?

Aiden Turner has a very deep masculine voice and presence. Watch Poldark, he makes women swoon. I think Hiddleston is a good actor but he turns me off with his hamminess. Maybe Barbara Broccoli saw the video of him dancing with Taylor Swift....he looked so dorky!

If Aidan is the frontrunner, they are going in the right direction. He's young and they need to attract the younger movie-goer plus the role is physically demanding and they would want someone to commit for 4 or 5 films. Craig is approaching 50 and the filming must have been hell on his body.

Aidan's hairiness is perfection. Forgive me, DLers, but I never understood many of you who preferred twinks or completely hairless men. How do you not want to just run your fingers through that glorious chest hair?

I prefer Theo James

I saw Theo James a couple of years back. Nice-looking, but incredibly thin at the time.

Aidan Turner recently appeared in Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None":

Theo's hairline is not worthy of Bond.

Connery is considered the best Bond and he wore a toupee.

Theo James will be appearing in the new "Underworld" film this October (with Bradley James).

Theo James is waaaay too "white -adjacent" to be Bond.

Does he have some Arab background or something?

Actually, I don't really care, but he looks like a "swarthy" villain, or possibly a Turkish waiter, not Bond.

^His lips are too puffy also, he looks too foreign. Not believable as Bond.

Those are DSL, bitch!

Not appropriate for Bond, R146.

R11, maybe if Hollywood would allow homegrown talent to break into the industry in the first place that would change. By that I mean in today's America, you can't even land an acting job unless you already have industry connections. The Brits ARE better actors - not because Americans arent talented, but because only the ones who have nepotism in their corner ever get any breaks anymore in the first place. The nepotism thing happens plenty in the UK too but it's not as bad.

Someone mentioned Liev Schreiber - well yeah, he has plenty of presence and intelligence to his acting, but he's also one of vanishingly few American actors today who comes from nothing (he grew up on an ashram with his poor hippie mother) rather than a big trust fund and phonebook full of contacts. That's the problem. Hollywood thinks Foreign actors have more presence and edge, but that's because the only Americans they ever see in screen tests are the spoiled, shletered children of nepotism.

Liev is a bit ugly

Yes, R135. Fat Cavill has the fat gene.

I can picture him stuffing Swiss Cake Rolls and McD's Double Cheeseburgers into his face at home, then crying, then working out like crazy the next day.

Which is why he looks so fucking fat, even with his weirdly lumpen "muscled" body.

He fat.

I'd say more than a bit, R149

R151 Watt ?

Sorry Naomi, good bod, but the face is a 5, if that.

Aidan's eyebrow game is tight, I'll definitely give him that.

Looks natural. That's hawt.

^Whereas Theo James' are way too plucked n' purty.

Maybe it's time for a trans "Bond" I mean , trans men are men too. Right? Actually, why does Bond even have to BE male or female? A trans woman can still be "male" if she identifies that way on a particular day. I mean, what am I missing here?

My name's Bond....Jaime Bond.

Fatty Cavill should just come out, marry rich, and quit acting.

He could stay home baking all day for his man - and I'm sure he'd be much happier.

He seems like the type that could pull a Matt Bomer move with a rich husband.

Someone should float this idea to him.

Can he do Bond and Superman at the same time ?

Aidan stole the scenes in Hobbit, not Luke

Hoax...but we already knew.

Theo looks part black in that pic, R160.

He looks Muslim r161

He's part Greek.

Either way, not Bond.

Yeah, that head shape at R160 is way too foreign.

Nope.

Aidan doesn't look quite white enough either....he's swarthy, dark and has a nose like a ferret. If you want someone who is not foreign, R165, then Hiddleston by all means. Pale and ginger.

I have to disagree, R166.

Aidan has the same coloring as Connery.

Hiddleston could conceivable be believable as the bellhop.

*Conceivably

Theo has the more beautiful face. He's a little thin so he needs to bulk up for Bond.

I wonder if market researchers for casting directors ever read these boards.

Probably not, oh well.

At any rate, if they cast Hiddleston or Cavill, I won't go.

If they cast someone in the vein of Aidan, they'll get my $12.00.

I'll probably still think it's shit compared to the old Bonds, but they'll get my money.

In an American Geography Class r49.

Great choice! I swooned over him in Downton Abbey.

I say go with the Game of Thrones guy, Jamie Lannister. Je is hot, and he would make a classy Bond. He's Danish. I love Danish.

Matthew Good would be an awesome Bond but I could work with Theo James. He is a beauty and I am sure he has chest hair, he probably just shaves..sigh. The next Bond should have chest hair. Nicholai Caster Whatever doesn't exactly role off the tongue. He is hot but meh a Scandinavian as Bond.? I just can't.

Hiddleston has that kitchen salesman look that some directors love; same with Ryan Gosling.

R175 made me laugh.

Ha HA!

Not since Sean Young wanted Catwoman have I seen someone so desperate for a role.

Henry Cavill would have been the perfect Bond!! just cut back on the steroids and he'll look perfect again.

With Cavill, it's always a Greg Brady/Johnny Bravo situation. He fits the suit and looks the parts, but needs help with the talent part.

Hiddleston doesn't look like a kitchen salesman. He has the lithe appearance of a shoe salesman who smells and caresses the new merchandise back in the stock room after the store closes.

[quote]some lower-class ROTC scholarship dork who maintains a bizarre personal standard of "millitary bearing at all times" because it's his only identity.

r75, I applaud your skills of observation and snobbery.

Snob or Not Henry Cavill Definitely Looks the part.

Henry Cavill suffers from Matt Bomer Syndrome, demented-faced ken dolls without depth.

No, R169. No "bulking." That's what ruined Cavill. If you want "bulking," use Cavill. He's already destroyed himself with your "bulking."

Matthew Goode. With his natural hair color (whatever it is).

Cavill is just too fucking fat.

No way is he Bond.

[quote] Cavill is just too fucking fat.

I don't get posters saying that. He's very muscular not fat. What's fat about him?

And what's "white adjacent"?

Not fat, just thick

R187, racists with an expanded vocabulary. Basically, idiots pointing out that Theo James isn't really white "enough."

[quote]Why did Aidan bother with the sheet?

Here you go . . .

Poor Mr. Pamuk.

Henry Cavill could lose those roidy muscles easily enough. Craig was about as muscular as Bond needs to be and other Bonds have been much leaner. A deflated Cavill or a short-haired Turner but NOT weasel-headed Hiddleston.

[quote]I don't get posters saying that. He's very muscular not fat. What's fat about him?

I think Cavill himself even admitted that he used to be fat.

I wondered if Aidan Turner would be too short, but Google tells me he's 6' 0".

Daniel Craig is reportedly 5' 10"

Sean Connery reportedly 6' 2"

W&W for R183.

You killed me dead.

Being short never stopped Tammy

6' 0' is ideal - that way they have more leeway casting the Bond girls and don't have to pick tiny girls.

What are the bookies saying? I tried interpreting some of their numbers but couldn't tell if Hiddleston and Turner were neck and neck, or if one had pulled ahead.

I know fug-face Hiddleston was ahead a week ago, but read some articles Aidan was now in the lead.

OMG, I forgot all about Aiden Turner. He was smokin' in "And Then There Were None" (Agatha Christie remake). He's got it all: swarthy good looks a la Sean Connery, a deep sexy voice, dangerous scowl and a rockin' lean bod. Plus, as someone upthread mentioned, he's young enough to last a while. Just perfect. I take back my Cavill vote and recast my vote for Turner.

Check out the famous "towel scene" from ATTWN.

Yes, the producers of "And Then There Were None" certainly took advantage of that Poldark body.

Yes, I was feeling him in And Then There Were None, R199. He was convincing as an educated, hot bad boy type that would fuck your brains out, then never call you.

Which is totally my type.

Yup. That towel scene is like an audition for Bond. That chick wants to drop her panties for him and she doesn't even know his name. LOL

He made it believable that a prissy bitch like that would actually do it too.

And of course, it's part of Bond's cannon that he gets panties dropping. I feel like Hiddleston would really have to talk you to death to get you there, instead of just lifting an eyebrow.

Good point, good point, R202

His voice is hot AF in that scene. Ok!

[quote]That chick wants to drop her panties for him and she doesn't even know his name. LOL

Plus the fact that he may be a murderer . . .

Damn, you're right, R205.

I can definitely see him bringing the smirk to the Bond franchise.

Is Theo white? I can't see them going for a non-white Bond including Idris as good as he is.

He's white-adjacent, R207.

So, not really.

Boys who are placing their votes for Aidan - better get those knit one-piece swimsuits out of storage.

He was brooding in Poldark. Needs to turn on his charm for Bond.

Ok, a gracious poster in the other Bond thread posted this video, and said it convinced him of Aidan as Bond.

He can get it!

Well, it appears we have our new James Bond.

Aidan's got my vote.

What a piece!

It' a sad commentary that Theo will not be considered because he's not white.

It's a white white white world

[quote],It's a white white white world

That is sad that talented actors like Theo and Idris will not be considered because Asian (and American) audiences don't even wanting consider a Bond out of the ordinary: a non-white Bond. I think Roger Moore even said something like Idris isn't English enough for which he later apologized.

After seeing Hiddleston dance, there is no way he is Bond.. This dance may have horrified Barbara Broccoli.

R218, play that video along with Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and it's absolutely hilarious and fitting.

Dear god, R218, I watched 5 seconds of that video and had to turn it off I was so embarrassed for him.

That was a very bad look.

Theo is basically considered white.

I don't want no non-white Bond. I don't want no Theo. I'd rather want a Bond (Bourne) with a womanly ass than a non-white Theo.

Not white enough, R221.

How can you say Theo James isn't white? Look how he dances.

He dances better than Tom "twinkle-toes" Hiddleston.

Theo looks like a white guy with a tan and full lips. The reason he won't get picked for Bond is because he's too young, unless they want to pull in the teens and twenties - in which case, they might just cast him.

[quote] Theo looks like a white guy with a tan and full lips

He doesn't look white. He looks biracial.

Yuk! Aidan turner for Bond? WTH is wrong with you people?

No for Hiddleston or Turner. both are extremely basic

R186 Your point??

I'd Like to see Henry Cavill's Butt as Bond

Theo James is Caucasian. He has Greek and Scottish ancestry but no African or Caribbean so he isn't 'white adjacent'.

Aiden Turner is a bit soft for Bond.

A Greek god, perhaps a goddamn Greek. Either way, he's gorgeous.

If they want to attract the under 30s to Bond, Theo James is their man.

Definitely needs to be a younger Bond and Theo or Turner could fit. Theo has a lovely face but I think Turner is the better actor.

Hiddleston reminds me of Fred Astaire.

Greek IS "white adjacent" R232

He is not bi-racial though.

Henry Cavill may have been fat once but not any longer. He would be another Lazenby though.

You revived a thread that's been dead since June just to tell us that Henry Cavill isn't fat anymore? Fuck you, r239.

Theo still has a nice anus

Theo is too young and too familiar from being on TV several times a night in the Hugo Boss perfume advert.

Henry Cavill is trying to become lean for the role but if he doesn't manage it, they're offering it to Tom Hiddleston.

Not rugged enough. Too soft and pretty IMO.

I really thought it was going to be Jamie Foxx.

Who would be the first Bond to hang dong? That's what I wanna know

R242 "Too familiar" because of an ad on TV?.....You're still watching broadcast television commercials? I know very few people who still watch TV at all and they DVR it.

It won't be Cavill. Demands of Superman come first. And its hard to argue he has something super special about him (unlike say, Downey as Iron Man)

Definitely, definitely will not be Elba. I think British and U.S. audiences would be with and possibly excited about a black Bond. The other half of the ticket buying world either stay away or not. but international ticket buyers are insanely racist and i dont think the bond team/studio is willing to risk $100-200 million potential shortfall that could even require recasting the role. sometimes decisions in hollywood are made to avoid having to make other tough decisions. and could you imagine if critics and audiences in UK and America went nuts over Elba, the film is awesome, and it still underperforms by a quarter billion dollars internationally? They couldn't easily replace him without everyone knowing why....and that would be personally ugly for all involved.

watching him in pbs' Sanditon, I do hope he gets the part of Bond, my god his voice/ that face/ that ass.....BOND !

Too young, but im a big fan of Nicholas Hoult, ide luv him to butch up and be mr bond.

Idris Elba is too old to start as Bond. They need someone who can do it for the next fifteen-twenty years.

Elba is out for sure. Hope Theo still in the running. he gets me warm....such deeeep voice, google him on talk shows, omg

Theo is heaven on wheels in London Fields cept for the odious stinky Amber Heard.

He plays a sexy cop in a tv show of a few yrs ago, Golden Boy, dam good show, he is super fab.

shit ive been rooting for this guy to be bond for years......he has it all !!!!! check him oout, queens

I forgot bout this guy, love him on the pbs Sanditon,,,,,,,,be a good bond hell yea.
