Bless his cotton socks.
2 to 3 years ago is a long time in the film business. 2 to 3 months is a long time. So whatever you heard 2 men say way back then, I doubt very much it is an accurate picture of what is happening right now. Had you heard this 2 to 3 days ago, it may hold a bit more weight.
I'd cast this guy as Screech in a re-boot of SAVED BY THE BELL.
Had the actor who played Screech been touted as a possible Dalton replacement in the mid '90's fans would've laughed hysterically. Today that idea would probably be taken seriously on the forums.
Chamalet for me. Totally unsuitable and American.
Right? I'd rather have Hiddleston, as ridiculous as he can be sometimes, specially when he dances.
Still a contender, IMO:
How about this Turner
Mind you still support Turner, but these pics are hilarious :))
Nobody can be cool and 100% handsome all the time, after all!
Based on the Night Manager, I’m fine with that.
So the three people who have responded to this have responded with negativity. Why is that? I thought it may be of interest, here on a page where many members go crazy over a simple photograph.
I dont mention this now because I think it proves the recent 'news'. No, I know three years CAN be a long time in the film industry. All I'm saying is what I heard at the time. If it were true, it would add some validity to Hardy being considered. We know that in the Bond world, actors who are considered at one point can often be offered the job years later. I didn't hear two men talking in a pub, as you imagine, I heard it at a corporate event in London. I can't remember the name of the company, but it was film/PR related. I didn't mention it at the time because I refused to believe it could be true and I also thought it was very unprofessional of the guy to blabber such news so publicly.
To someone else who commented something along the lines of 'those who know don't tell', I would alter that to "some of those who know don't tell". If you knew, would you say? Some would.
Well that's a newspaper, who often fabricate things entirely.
I think you are right in that Hardy may have been considered once upon a time, for sure.
He looks like a waiter at the local Italian restaurant, charming those groups of old ladies.
Well, some Bond actors come to mind…
Do they always tote guns?
Great pic. Looks like the cover of a Fleming novel. 👍👌
Exactly which is why I am not telling that @peter is writing directing and staring in the next bond film I am tasked with casting the leading lady and trust me I am checking them out head to toe it’s quite an ordeal as you can imagine lmao
With my top 5 I can at least point to which previous bond they will be most like
Hardy would be like Connery in my mind a proper snob with a bit of humor and some hard core brutality
Hiddleston will be more like well Moore a proper Englishman more interested in women then violence but can be violent if need be
Fassbender would be more like Dalton or Craig brutal efficient
Cavil will be like Brosnan cool efficient but very much a suit in the part
Evans will be like Lazenby able to be emotional but strong
Or Moonraker....on the cliffs of Dover!
Yes, and we need a proper adaptation of that.
Yep 👍
That's all true. Craig only has about three tats, Connery, one. But that wouldn't be a problem. They'd cover them all up. There are more serious problems regarding Hardy, IMO.
Turner is nice in interviews, a good sport.
Cavill is probably out of the running, yeah, you're right about that.
Not. Fake news, that's all.

Phew, so the Lord of the Pirates might still have a chance?
