Ah, perfect for the PTS. Bond is undercover and in a spectacular manner thwarts a terrorist plot. Next we see the exterior of a spectacular resort in Dubai. Within a beautiful woman lounges on a bed in an opulent suite. We hear water running, it stops; a shirtless figure emerges from the bathroom; his face partially obscured as he towels dry his face. Once done we see a clean shaven, smooth, Turner. looking down at her he teases, " Now where were we?" .......Title song!
He is supposedly the new Bond thats why everyone is on his a** right now.
And yes, all this will be forgotten in... pretty much tomorrow
Your idea of "consummate playboy bachelor" and mine are about 180% apart. Most of Swift's so called romances have been with beards. Swift and Hiddleston both appear to be quite asexual. The staged "romantic" shots on the rocks and the recent boxer posing efforts smack of phony PR stuff. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hiddleston is a good actor, but he is about as genuinely masculine as Barry Manilow.
He'll act Bond OK, but he will never have the tough, masculine edge a great Bond should have. The charm, posh stuff is easy. But as Mendes said during SP promo, there are very few truly masculine actors out there. Hiddleston is not one of them. I can't stand Elba's arrogance, but at least he has the swagger and masculinity that a great Bond should have. Hiddleston does not.

*Not that I visit any. I'm just guessing what they look like. Honest!
Haha, I like this scenario very much, and the ending is epic =D>. Here is Turner in that last scene, shaven but still with long hair though, so to speak – shaven, not trimmed B-) (is it a correct expression?)
I also dislike that photo shoot and already commented on it. I don't think much of underwear photo shoots in general and that was a really bad one.
However, if a woman was doing an underwear shoot I bet the guys here wouldn't think that made them desperate for attention and would disqualify them from appearing in Bond movies - quite the opposite, in fact, as seen here before. Interesting double standards.

@bondjames, Well, I can say this: I'd rather see Murphy as Bond (or in movies in general) than Hiddleston. Admittedly I've seen far less of Hiddleston (only as Loki and the first 4 episodes of The Night Manager), but that would definitely be my opinion at this point.
Like you said we both are
;)
and you are right on Craig, he looks better the more you look at him but i would never find Pierce odd looking hehe
Yes! but with a bit more of a slight, devil's, grin; the work is done and now the reward. ;)
As for some of the last few posts... Are homophobia and rumours about Hiddleston's sexuality going to follow him around, like cries of "too ugly!" followed Craig around? Yikes.
Hmm. I haven't seen those "romantic" pics, nor am I interested in seeing them, and I couldn't care less if there's a romance there or not. I know even less about Swift than I know about Hiddleston, so basically nothing - I know she's a pop star, and apparently popular, but I don't know if I've ever even heard any of her music, and I wouldn't necessarily recognize her face. Obviously I also wouldn't know anything about Swift's "so called romances" but how do you know they are "so called"?
However, many people seem very sure that those pics were staged, so just out of curiosity; why do people think that? Also, why would either one of them do that - what would be the goal? Just seems such an idiotic thing for anyone to do.
Or gas/petrol ($$$)
I don't think those pictures from Rhode Island were staged shots. Taylor Swift was in 2012/2013 the 'national lightning rod for slut shaming' as she called it herself, because she dated 2 boys in 1 year. That was the reason why she was single until she met Calvin Harris in 2015. Why on earth would she throw that investment away? Definitely not for a PR stunt with some actor who wants to become James Bond.
The photos were taken on Taylor Swift's private beach residence in Newport, RI - they are highly detailed shots that were obviously taken from a close distance, i.e. on the property itself. So either someone got past her security and bodyguards and trespassed, or they were invited. There's no blur or lack of focus that you regularly see in "candid" paparazzi shots, and it's not like there are hordes of paparazzi cruising Rhode Island.
What do they get out of it? Well, he gets a big profile boost. As someone else noted, this immediately led to several "Who is Tom Hiddleston?" articles, so he gets buzz about him, it shoots down rumors about his (and her) sexuality, and gives him a "Hey, well if he can land Taylor Swift, he can definitely be James Bond!" narrative.
You're right, smitty. I see people keep saying "Oh he can go to the gym and bulk up". But...so what? The gym can give you abs, but it can't give you toughness. Connery in TB didn't have abs, but he looks like he would destroy you if you tangled with him. Piddles is never going to have that, with his ectomorph physique. And to follow Craig, who brought back genuine masculinity and toughness to the gig? It would be the most jarring transition since Moore to Dalton, and that didn't work out too well for him. I mentioned this before, but Craig brought something of a working class factor to the role that I think boosted Bond's wide appeal somewhat, making Bond more relatable to audiences who previously weren't interested. Obviously that's out the window too if it's Piddles as Bond.
So many strong opinions. Some feel the same about Turner.
I'm sure lurking somewhere is a Jamie Bell fan even.
That is one opinion. Having seen his work I have a different opinion. In the end though I do think the next bond will be someone who does not have a high profile at this time.
In fact look at the fan art above and tell me he doesn't look perfect!
