Yeah, save for Lazenby (even then he’d done commercials/modelling) unknown actors don’t play Bond. They’re not a-listers (worth mentioning incidentally that because we on these forums constantly hear names like Callum Turner and Sope Dirisu etc as …

I like the idea of someone experienced with Horror doing a Bond film, and while I’m not a fan of The Nun (mainly for the script) I liked The Hallow fine enough. It really depends on what he’d bring though.

Who knows how much truth (if any) is in that. Out of all of them I’d say Turner’s likely the best though.

Not sure if the grey in Aidan’s temples there will help with concerns about his age/potential longevity, haha (not that I agree that he’s too old as I’ve said).

I’ve kinda gone off Lowden after watching some of Slow Horses weirdly. That’s not to say he or the show aren’t great, it’s just that I can’t quite picture him as Bond (or at least as the best option). I don’t know what it is specifically (perhaps th…
