Cute Boy Friday: The Next James Bond.

I keep reading articles about who the next James Bond is going to be (since Grumpy McGrumperson Daniel Craig apparently has decided he's over it.) Here are the names I've seen floated along with my very biased opinions:



Damien Lewis - Creeps me out a little. Not my Bond.


James Norton - I think he needs a few more years on him, but one day, yes indeed.



Aidan Turner - Hmm. I’m not sure. I like him, but is he Bond material? He's a maybe (and also might be too young.)


Tom Hardy - Way too rough around the edges. You can’t out badass Daniel Craig, you just can't.



Henry Cavill - Please God no. He’s conventionally attractive but he’s a block of wood as an actor and doesn’t have that devilish air that Bond requires. Newp.



Tom Hiddleston - I couldn’t envision it until recently when I started watching The Night Manager in which he’s doing his best JB impression. He's maybe a little...prim for my taste? At least he can act.


Idris Elba - Uh, duh. Obvs. I mean, come on. He’d blow it out of the freaking water.

PS. This:


Best. Ever. Happy Friday!

  2. I don't understand what the producers are thinking. Idris is a no-brainer. Even my husband agrees.

  3. Idris for Bond. I like a number of those other actors but none of them are Bond. (Agreed, maybe James Norton in a few years.)

  6. Idris is my choice - once you've seen him in a tuxedo, there is no question. Shaken, not stirred, indeed.

  7. Wait though - haven't you seen the fan campaign for Gillian Anderson? I'm so there ...

  8. Why wouldn't Aidan Turner be Bond material? He is sooo Bond material. But I'd forgotten about Idris. Can't we have two at once? Bond and Lil Bond. Ebony Bond and Ivory Bond. 007 and 007.5. Yum.
