Possibly he comes off betting the bigger picture.
I can't say about Moore, but from my experience, among my circle of female friends, yes, Brosnan was considered hot when GE was released. Then again he was the taste of the time and a lot people's idea of what a Bond actor should be like. People's view changed gradually as his tenure went on.
Yeah I doubt they'd worry about box office too much as they'd be bringing that with 007: I would imagine they just want someone who can do the job. And my guess is that means a leading man who has starred in a movie or two and proven himself, I don't think it has to be hit movie because a performance on its own won't guarantee that.
As I said, anecdotally you'll get one here or there.
“ heartthrobs “ , and none of them had proven to be box office draws.
He was also voted Sexiest Man Alive in 2001. I think it's pretty safe to say he had huge sex appeal, worldwide, when he was Bond.
Connery and Craig have both been pretty serious heartthrobs: Connery was always being called sexiest man alive and all that, and there was loads of stuff about Craig in the press around the time of Casino Royale getting released about him being a sex symbol, which lead up to some company making an ice lolly of his torso so punters could have a lick.
Prior to being cast they may have had some recognition but it was not high profile, and none were boxoffice draws.
Oh prior to being cast as Bond; I get what you mean now, yes. Sure, that’s true.
I guess Dalton’s Wuthering Heights may have set hearts a flutter, I don’t know. Roger was a big successful international star, just not in movies.
Therefore I hereby advocate this guy to come out of retirement and take over as the new James Bond. He's an excellent actor, a box office draw and can play anything............also the ladies always loved him...............

I don't think those posting these stories even look at who they're nominating half the time.
To compensate for a weak lower face, his looks are too dependent on a beard
Very true mate, I think he looks a bit tougher than some of the candidates but yeah he needs facial hair
With and without a beard, his appearance is really night and day.
I'm surprised Robbie Williams is not on the list.

In Norton's case I've only seen McMafia but he was so wooden and forgettable
I'm sure Eon will no doubt prove me wrong when Bond #7 is unveiled though
sounds reasonable.
Personally, Norton is at the bottom of my list. I won't start a "James Norton is not Bond" website if he were cast, but I'd be very, very, very skeptical.
