Commander Bond thinks otherwise, a tad weathered. Hoult on the other hand, will probably die at old age with a boyish baby face.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but it still isn't doing it for me.
Eh, it's not bad. It wouldn't be the end of the world if they cast him. But he's still not my first choice. He still seems too boyish to me.
Strange, it seems we have totally definitions of boyish looks. Turner obviously is handsome, yet looks like a man. This guy is the definition of boyish:
Hemsworth is naturally a very lean, athletic guy; he has to eat and train to put on "superhero" or "Hulkster" size. generally when shooting is done he sheds the weight. Right now he's training for the Hogan bio-pic then he will move on to the next Thor.
I agree with you about Hoult.
No more Australians please!
Hemsworth can’t master a English/ British accent. Case in point...Men in Black International, Thor, Rush etc.
Hemsworth as Bond is like casting Hugh Grant as Crocodile Dundee; “G’day mate.”
Chris Hemsworth IS Chris Hemsworth as James Bond in
The Next One
I think this is true of any famous actor taking on the role, for example Hemsworth as you mentioned, or Cavill, Hiddleston, Jackman, etc.
Hugh is a great actor, but my point was that you wouldn’t cast him as an Authentic Aussie Outback Crocodile Wrestler.
I like Hiddleston, he’s got a quintessentially English quality about him.
Hunnam IMO is not a very good actor at all. He should not even be mentioned for consideration, I agree.
I was joking. Even if he could produce a terrific Australian accent, I was just kidding. Everyone KNOWS he could nail that. Crikey !
Hiddleston was quite good in The Night Manager. I'm not much for the Marvel movies since the first Iron Man, other than the Doctor Strange movie. That big ensemble stuff can be amusing, but does not draw me in much. But I understand Tom H handles his part well, as does the apparently very Australian Mr. Hemsworth the hammer wielder. I say "apparently" because, well, my ears do not pick it up -- other than strongly noticeable examples (see "Crikey !", above, from the late, great, loveable animal lover).
In the first one, yes totally agree he looks too 'boyish' and not a convincing Bond. However it's an older photo when he WAS younger.
Photo two could easily be used in a " Hoult is right for Bond" discussion. He looks more mature, in a dinner jacket. He even has the right hair.
I'm not canvassing for Hoult at all but as MSL49 correctly says- Let the screen test decide.
And, yes, I am kidding...but not much, am I ? Especially since some of the names tossed about in here are for very young-looking lads who then get tossed out of the Bond #8 candidate ring for being too young-looking !
You'll get used to that debating technique around here.
Oh I know. I've been on here since 2012, Don't post much but love reading the debates. This thread in particular.
As an Englishman I can confirm that Hemsworth’s faux British/ English accent is pure unadulterated pantomime acting.
He looks fine for Bond now IMO.
Hoult may age, I have no idea, but at present he’s a boy.....’About a Boy.’
That is my issue with hoult, we don't know if he might age the way people think. He could still looks boyish even after 5 years or not, my top contender is still Turner after that Theo james .
'About A Boy' was nearly twenty years ago.
Very true. But voice dubbing isn’t done in modern cinema.
People really could use some lightening up around here. These films are escapist fantasies, even the "serious" ones !
Jack O'Connell, who was one of Hoult's castmates from Skins, has always intrigued me. He has a more rugged quality. He seems more contemporary and I also think he has quite handsome. He looks like a cross between Sean Connery and Tom Hardy.
He also has a similar toughness and believability that reminds me of Daniel Craig. He's also a very good actor.
