I've read that before. Pierce was most likely high on life and probably had the best sex ever just before blessing with his input regarding the future of Bond.
Having just seen Rocketman, I have to say Madden has to be frontrunner. Surely? He has so much sexual charisma in that film. He has a number of close-ups that just make you think 'James Bond'. He has a predatory sense of danger. Something innately sexy........I think he may be the guy to beat. Plus, he's young and a good actor.
Seriously now, yeah, I'd be glad if they cast him. Accent and all.
You're probably confusing your innately sexual attraction towards him with being the next potential Bond. He's also ridiculously short.

Aidan Turner - 36 (1,83m)
Tom Mison - 37 (1,85m)

Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 29 (1,80m)

Jack Huston - 37 (1,82m)
Theo James - 34 (1,83m)
Just thought I'd organise this. if someone remembers anyone else, please inflate the list.
BTW, looking at that list, I think they'll all be too old. Maybe we should be looking for people in their late 20s.
Being a Richard is a plus.
Luke Evans - 40 (1,83m) ;-)
Oh, of course, damn it, one of my personal favourites, and I forgot. Let's get him on the list, pronto.
So, two strikes against him .
Our dream choices will inevitably reject the role... look at Clive Owen, Mel Gibson, Sam Neill, and Idris Elba. It will be someone we do not suspect, and I fully expect NPH!
There are still rumours that Jackman is gay. And these rumours are the inside rumours of the film industry.
And that ultimately means: if these two are gay, then, in the end, what’s the big deal at this point? They can play hungry and impulsive het-males. Which means they’re damn fine for the role, regardless of their private life.
Comparing the two is in inequivalent.
Is there photographic evidence? Where is that (other than screenshots of him acting as Elton John’s lover)?
There is photographic evidence of John Travolta kissing his male lover here in Toronto. Does that mean he couldn’t play Vincent Vega??.... (or any of his other het-roles in, well, all of his films)?
Hugh Jackman married a woman much older than he and they adopted. It has dogged him for years he is gay. But....
IF he was would that take away his portrayal of Wolverine? Or from The Prisoner?
We know the answer.
It’s no.
Why not? Aren't we in 2019, heck, almost in 2020? Isn't that redundant as hell by now? Does anyone care? Cause we bloody well shouldn't. I don't. As long as the character remains a hot blooded heterosexual, just as it was written, I don't care about the actor who portrays it personal sexuality.
Speaking of Richard Madden-- as far as a quick google search will reveal: he isn't gay in the slightest.
Personal opinion: if he was (he doesn't appear to be), I think Eon could make it work, but, since Madden is 5'8-- this a moot argument.
I will say his talent, masculinity and prowess would make him a worthy successor of Craig-- certainly more than Hiddleston, Cavill and Turner.
But being 5'8 takes him out of the race in my eyes, unfortunately...
I have worked as a hairstylist for 33 years; I have many gay friends; only two weeks ago I attended a gay wedding. I am not a “ homophobe and consider myself very accepting and tolerant, but when it comes to James Bond, my preference is that he be portrayed by a straight actor. So, that makes me intolerant, a hater?
Where is the tolerance and open mindedness for my preferences?
There seems to be a few tall horses around here.
1/where is the photographic evidence that Madden is gay?
1a/ This still wouldn't bug me if he was gay and portraying James Bond, because;
1b/he has the chops, apart from height, to play 007 in all of his traits;
2/there is photographic evidence of John Travolta being gay, but;
2b/if he is as gay as evidence proves, he still played all of his het-roles convincingly and, in other cases, was the perfect man for the role (Vincent Vega et al)
3/there are rumors of Hugh Jackman's sexuality for years; if true-- could he not play Bond?
3b/whether Jackman is gay or not, he could play Bond.
I know you @talos7 and I DO NOT THINK you're a hater not intolerant.
My point is that there are realities of whee were are today, and from a business point , I don’t think EON would select an openly gay actor at this time. Now, one Bond beyond that, who knows.
Also personal preference does not reflect a person’s acceptance for another’s orientation and lifestyle.
I am very accepting , and tolerant of lifestyles that aren’t mine, I can accept gay actors portraying straight characters; but when it comes to Bond, my preference is that he be portrayed by a straight actor. I don’t ask that everyone agree with that , but show tolerance .
Good lord, Clive Owen was someone's dream choice? People talk about Cavill being a little stiff, but compared to Owen he is like Brando
Interesting. I don't see the problem with someone gay playing a straight role and vice-versa, but there we go. I do agree, though, EON would probably look to avoid some sad, but inevitable controversy by casting a gay man as Bond.
