Same here ;)
He's far from my first choice but I'll give him an undeniable malleability. If someone had told me that the guy playing the villain in Star Trek Nemesis would one day play Bane I'd have laughed in his face. As for playing Bond I remain open to the idea but think he might be too short and maybe too old.
It looks boring.
And taller.
"Should Tom Hardy Be the Next James Bond?"
But if it would be so, that little Layer Cake film had then two future Bonds in it.
A) We have movement on Bond 25 finally
B) Hardy would bring Fun without being too camp.
Tom Hardy would be great IF he wasn't 5ft 8 and thus far too short for the role. Below 5ft 10 is totally and utterly unacceptable.
Well, he did say, "I've seen every Bond" in You Before Me...and there was also that Bond homage home video in that film. LOL
He's about 5'11" / 6'. Same height as me.
I agree that an actor in the 6 '+ range is preferable, but if someone somewhat shorter is otherwise perfect for the role, there are many ways to adjust for a lack of height; trust me Craig has benefited from all of them.
I've never had any problems with Craig's height. Nor have I've seen it commented upon other than on the forum. As for Olga Kurylenko's height, I only see that as an "asset" for a great Bond girl! :-)
If an actor with Hardy's height get cast, I wouldn't think twice about it. There are ways to make an actor seem taller. As long as the end result is good, I'll be happy.
Even as a man a couple of inches under 6' I agree. ;)
Yes: My Cousin Rachel, directed by...Roger Michell, who directed DC in The Mother and Enduring Love.
Fleming had Bond at 6ft and 5ft 10 is the average for a British male. As such that's why I used this criteria. For me Craigs height has never been an issue on screen as he is just above UK average height. Tom Hardy is unfortunately vertically challenged and a 5ft 8 stature is totally unacceptable for the Bond role.
