Great perspective. I've definitely already started coming around to actors who would have been definite 'no's from me previously.
He can't find his accent. Ever.
Liked him in that James Gray film, though.
In the film Green Street (2005) his attempt at delivering a Cockney accent resulted in his inclusion in many critics' "worst accents in movie history" lists.
It's all over the place. He just can't put a pin on it. And, for me, one of the most important things an actor who plays Bond should have is a perfect voice/accent combo. That alone sold me on Craig as Bond. The first time I heard that monologue in Layer Cake I was in.
So, no to Hunnam.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with you here P2D. I think he is a dark horse. I've seen comments about being a bad actor, but he is actually a very good actor with the right material. And yes, he has the charisma.
Madden I also agree about.
It's crazy to think that in May/June once the heat dies down on NTTD, we will be fully into the conversation over 'who should be the new Bond?'
I agree that Dornan is my preference. I also think that if he were to get it, then he should keep the beard....or at least have stubble. He looks odd without it. But he's so beautiful with it.
You can still be a modern gentleman spy with some facial hair. It's 2020 after all.
This look is perfect for me:
It's only opinions.
It's just an expression ;)
Didn't Brosnan have a 5'O clock shadow in Goldeneye? So Id be ok with the next Bond having the same look.
But hey, if you want a 5'O clock shadow, who better than Aidan Turner. Right?
You guys do know that a 5'O clock shadow means that you have shaved, right? Probably in the wee hours of the morning. So it's not as though you have a beard.
These youngsters today ______ Don't know how to put an eye roll emoticon here, or I bloody well would ;)
What's next? Bond can have a beard and shave his chest?
Exactly, @Ludovico.
You need a beard to look lazy, scruffy, mangy or run-down, a shoddy ragtag of a person who doesn't take the time to take care of himself. Bond is not that guy.
And don't come talking to me about fashion or what's trending. I've got no time, patience or ears for that horseplay.
And Bond doesn't shave his chest, he's not Johnny Weissmuller, for pete's sake. And he's not pretending to be Japanese. Well...
Or like a lion, scaring your enemies.
Well you can have a beard and be elegant/not scruffy. Beard does not mean scruffy. But that's not the kind of elegance Bond has. I'd also like to add that not every beard makes you look manly. Sean Connery is manly with one. Craig is too. Brosnan... I'm not quite convinced. But many young actors today just look like they're either cuddly bears or they're auditioning for the role of Jesus.
Some of us youngsters still likes to do some things the old fashioned way ;) . I myself like to be clean shaved. Majority of men today are trying to hide that baby face under that beard.
Well, you’re living proof that there’s still hope for mankind ;) I too shave every day, been doing it since I was twelve, lol. One must have standards.
Looks like a nice homosensual fella.
Let's see I am 26, have been shaving since 14, if i couldn't shave any day it feels really weird to be honest. I guess seeing my father shave everyday has got me habitual and both my parents are teacher so discipline has always been in the house 😁
Exactly, couldn't have said it better✌️
Because a beard gives you masculinity? Not to these guys!
No, but neither does a big gun; both are compensating.
