Apparently this stuntman is preparing for B25.
Perhaps Craig is in better shape right now than we suspect.
My prediction, and will pull up this post when proven correct, Craig will come into this film in phenomenal shape; naysayers will be pleasantly shocked.
This is a guarantee.
When it comes to his stunt double's shape – maybe he's preparing for a particular stunt requiring some heavy muscles to accomplish?
I've had issues with some of his wardrobe as Bond, but if I look even half as good physically as he does when I am his age, I'll be over the moon. The guy has always been incredibly fit, which is quite an achievement considering some of the ringers he has put himself through.
I think there is one; later tonight I’ll look and move this over there.
When was the last time you saw Craig shirtless or performing hardcore stunts my best guess skyfall it's been almost 6 years, do you think they would still go for that look for his last which was started in 2006 neither do I expect him to perform such fancy stunts. Take Logan for example if you think about laughing on age appropriate again.
But we do have the usual talking points as we wait for more news, sure.
Let me say it again, Daniel Craig will be in amazing shape for Bond 25
Oh, and for Lucky Logan, he was in the shape the role required.
I am saying it again it would be more age appropriate.
And @talos7 is saying age isn't necessarily a factor in fitness. At least not these days. Nowadays there are plenty of 70 year olds who could outrun people my age. And even if it were a factor, most people that age aren't playing James Bond. If the story does require an out of shape Bond, then sure. But that's not the same thing as it being age appropriate.
There weren't any shirtless scenes in SP because they probably weren't needed - it's as simple as that. He was still in top shape.
Bottom line, that guy seems to be overdoing it. Bond doesn't need to look like him and I hope he doesn't frankly. I don't need to see Craig in his undies or whatever in B25 either, but I think he needs to do something about the chin area, which has been sagging lately.
That might happen too of course. Are there any reasons for the stunt double to bulk up (if he is), then down for a role, you think?
Bulking up causes both an increase in muscle and fat. Cutting, if done correctly, can just target excess fat.
So if one were to bulk up and then drop the respective fat gained in that bulk, they could end up with better muscle definition. It's hard to do as it takes patience and you need to pay huge amounts of attention to your diet/nutrition.
‘Tis is probably his natural, not for a role weight. It’s easier to drop then gain. By not being on a restrictive diet allows him to train heavier and longer.
My point is to not have this conversation become ludicrous by talking about Craig running around half naked or even shirtless; my point is he’s going to want to look good even if in nothing more revealing than Chinos and a polo.
