    Youth is an asset, but if they're around 40 - 43 or so and look younger, then they'd still be fine. I'm 45, but I look 25 - 30. No, I'm not going to try out for Bond. I'm a skinny American who can't act. 😅

    Nor could George Lazenby, so there's that.
    Chuck your hat in the ring with @DewiWynBond ;)

    Royal rumble?

    Reminds me of someone trying a wrestling move on me in Jiu-jitsu years ago. A piledriver! I almost broke my neck.

    I'm of the opinion that Lazenby could act, at least judging by the results. Not as good as Connery, obviously. But judging him on his own, he did quite well.

    Anyway...

    Don’t get me wrong, I like George and I think much of the charm and success of Majesty’s is because of him.
    However, at the time he wasn’t quite in the same league as Connery or Moore.

    You could say he had one mode of acting, but the ending was something natural. I'm planning a variety of acts myself.

    No Sam Smith. But unlikely rock n' roll. I'd prefer tasteful, beautiful pop music. Jazzy standard would be better, but unrealistic, sad to say.

    Another reminder just how damn right he looks and feels for Bond.

    If EON was ever going to have Oasis do a Bond them, it would've been 30 years ago.

    There's no question Aidan Turner is a natural fit, but time isn't on his side anymore, and B26 is not about to start filming tomorrow.

    From everything we know about EON, they want someone who can play Bond for at least a decade.

    I don't know why they are so hung up about it, they just are.

    They are about to launch a reunion that will include a tour and album; the tour quickly sold out ; It is a perfect time to have them do the title track.

    It seems the theme song now depends on the actor playing Bond and the film's direction. I read somewhere that Goldfrapp were to work on CR, but when EON wanted a grounded and raw Bond in Craig, Goldfrapp weren't suitable anymore. I still want to hear a Goldfrapp Bond theme, though. The duo were so made for Bond. A lot of their songs are really Bondian.

    I would also like to hear an Oasis Bond theme though, love the band. Like The Smiths, they're a guitar-driven rock band. They even have songs that would have suited Craig's portrayal of Bond in CR & QoS. So yeah, Noel on guitar, and Liam's nasal singing style, always sounds cool.
