He actually comes off fairly well in the interview and has a decent voice.
It does make me wonder, had there been the same level in years past’ as exist today, would actors like Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris , Oliver Reed, Richard Burton and other hellraisers had careers?
I imagine with someone like Reed it wouldn't have been his hellraising but his views on women which would have gotten him in more trouble in that sort of situation (although one can argue that aspect of his personality was a product of his time... not sure if I agree as even in the 60s/70s he was objectively a sexist, but I suppose he 'got away' with it slightly more easily then). Anyway, I think there was plenty of 'pearl clutching' and press coverage in regards to those actors' exploits in their day (arguably their behaviour even impacted some of their careers to some extent).
Anyway, there are actors who have careers nowadays who we know have done much worse.
It's always good to bring a new generation of fans. He seems manly enough.
Oops. Didn't know that.
True. It's unreasonable to expect any actor to have no 'skeletons', but I think there's a spectrum with these things. I can't imagine EON taking an actor if it was known they had a history of alleged domestic abuse.
Yes, that's true. Like Equity prospective Bond actors have to come to the role with "clean hands" and as little personal baggage as is humanly possible. The Bond role is usually a long-term investment in an actor after all and Eon and the studio etc. won't want someone with negative press if they can avoid it.
He's probably my number one on a very small list now. Actually, scratch that. Right now, he's alone on that list. Good voice, good physique, good actor, good presence, bit of charisma, intelligent on conversations, a bit period like, if you know what I mean.
All and all, Callum Turner for Bond! (if one cannot have the other Turner... why not?)
;)
Just have Moneypenny give him a proper old fashioned shave first.
Nah, let the campaign begin :)
Besides, @Denbigh, he thinks it’s his mom who’s behind all the rumours:

World exclusive, @Denbigh is actually Callum Turner's mom! You've heard it here first :D
I've always known... ;)
That's not to say he doesn't deserve a screentest. ;)
I'm distracted by the other fellas weird fake voice, it sounds like he's trying way too hard to sound tough. He doesn't sound natural
Turner is a talented actor, he definitely deserves a screentest even if he's not someone I'd choose.
Or Henry Chavill if you prefer.
I don't know, for me he just looks too laddish.
