Yes, no-one in history ever wore beards before 2 years ago, and that can be the only possible reason for it 8-|
I certainly can't imagine any of the guys who played Bond in the 20th century would have worn a beard for most of their life...
But that's NOT what I said. It seems now that a lot of actors mentioned here sport facial hair. That's it that's all.
Or maybe, like with lots of other guys, he just liked it.
Can't be applied to Connery at any age.
That's self-evidently nonsense.
Not many if any Sean Connery types suggested for the Bond role currently.
The point is indeed well made that many of the actors who have been touted on this page are not convincing for a part that calls for being convincing at someone who can charm as well as fight, and look good doing both. Someone built well though not a body-builder. Someone who does not need facial hair to convince anyone else that they're all these things. Someone who sounds good and moves well. Many of those touted here are short, boy-like, or "emo" - really ?
Ah I see, only older men can have beards...? These are some very puzzling rules! :))
Exactly: just because someone under 50 wears a beard it doesn't mean that they are trying to look more masculine or make up for anything- it's just a style choice, and I think it's very odd to presume otherwise.
Especially Taylor-Johnson: I don't think he's a great film star but he's not exactly lacking in the masculine looks department.
Oh jeez. Yeah, probably he just liked it, but he didn't need it to look manly in his youth. Hence my comment. In any case, it has nothing to do with previous Bond actors, or actors from previous generations. It's simply a trend I see nowadays.
Put anyone but Connery in the GF onesie and it would've tanked the series!

Well it was a passing insult really. The question wasn't that, it was "Why do so many actors today have to sport beards or stubbles to (I presume) look masculine?". Which is like someone accusing you of wearing trousers because you obviously think they make you look masculine.
So to use your phrase, get over it, some men wear beards because they want to, that's the end of it.
Yes I'll watch that when it pops up. What I like about it is finally he's been able to 'do a Connery' and just use his natural accent in one of these big actioners.
In addition, he could also sing the title song..................
Who is this please
Well He is alright nobody worries about him why do you have to give him a fight can't you just let him be
