And as for looking a bit ordinary, again for a secret agent I consider that a good thing. Mind you I've only seen him in Lucifer extensively and find he makes for a very convincing devil. It doesn't mean he makes a good Bond, as only a proper Bond-screentest or similar role (looking at you Daniel with La4er Cake) will give an idea about how well he's suited for the job.
Oh well, not on who should be the next one, but I guess there's plenty within the Bond-world to agree upon ;-)
As for Tom Cullen, he definately looks wrong to me, far more a thug than Bond. I know nothing of his acting though.
Aaron Johnson, finding the few pictures where he doesn't sport a beard he'd be ok if he'd look like he'd lived a little more. Lookwise, again, no idea about the acting.
Nope. It’s to do with my personal opinion of enjoying a particular film. Period. I like it, you don’t. Brilliant.
Thank you for the spelling correction too. Very much appreciated.
Surely you must understand that your personal opinion on something doesn't necessarily qualify as a good evaluation on its quality. I love many things which are awful. I'm not going around saying they're not. Dorian Gray is an awful film. Period. Some people like it, some people don't. That's the subjective part. Not the quality of it.
Yes, I agree.
1) Not my discussion
2) I respect that you like Dorian Gray, @suavejmf
3) It's not a good film, by any standards
4) The novel is a great novel, by any standards
As you say @Univex this is for another thread.

Thank you. But, and although I did chime in, it's not my discussion. If they take it there, I'll comment. I do think they were discussing the value of Ben Barnes as a Bond candidate, however. That may as well remain in doors, right? ;) Anyway, thanks @NicNac.
As to returning to topic, here, allow me: No, I don't really think Cullen is suitable. A bit thuggish, IMO.
And I will add @Univex that the people involved in the movie understood zilch about the source material.
Shame that Colin Firth had a part in it. But we should take this discussion elsewhere, @Ludovico ;)
Yes maybe in its own thread.
The film is so bad, it doesn't deserve a thread. lol, sorry, had to do it. Back to Bond number 7 ;)
No he's very bland, and very forced.
Don't know why, but he's got an American face. What on earth is an American face, you ask me? I don't know. But he doesn't seem British to me. Don't know why.
Wait, wait, just googled him. Nah, he's sort of a chameleon. Looks eastern european sometimes, even. Still, I don't see him as Bond.
I’ve always found him to be a terribly non-charismatic actor. In Godzilla, as the “hero” he was wooden and unconvincing. Once Cranston’s character died the quality of the film plummeted.
Brilliant! =D>
You guys should really check out Outlaw King. He's the best thing about that film, and stars an actress who I think would be a great future Bond girl, Florence Pugh, who also just starred in The Little Drummer Girl.
Very Dalton in those top two shots.
Right? ;)
Agreed, that's Bond right there. Also agree regarding your views about Barnes and Gray. You the man, @Univex
I'm now officially sold on Turner.
Genius minds think alike.
I've never actually seen him act but am not sure these pics do him that many favours. Good looking chap obvs but can't say he really looks Bondian here. Looks like an Italian playboy . Unless of course you think anyone in a dinner jacket looks like Bond, which I know some people do.
That's not to say he's not a contender- just these look like fairly standard fashion shoot photos with a male model.
I've seen it. It doesn't help.
Those of us who like the pics have seen him act, @Getafix. Someone advocated that pics don't do justice to any actor. They're right. Now, if we put together his acting, voice, presence and then the pics, that's a different matter altogether.
Ahhh, you fantasize about A. Banderas in Desperado. Carry on.
Those aren’t pictures of Tom hardy
