Tom Hardy the next 007?

I got offered the part when I was 25 (true)... mind you, it was only the Reliance Mutual Insurance Society Sports and Social Club film group

Here's me at that time when I was my mate's Best Man. I fell over just before this picture was taken (he's got it on video) so I guess I was shaken not stirred

From a book like character, I thought that Craig was a good choice for Bond. In the books, Bond was more of a thug, then the pretty boys as portrayed in some of the movies. I just did not agree with the scripts that Craig was given.

I would like to see a reboot of the movies closer to the Fleming Books, but that would never sell these days.

Tom Hardy would be a good choice.

Personally, I think he is too old (43), but at a dinner party on saturday when the topic came up, every woman there said he is very sexy which I guess is the target audience.

Interestingly, all the men thought Sean Connery was the definitive BOND, while most women liked Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan.

still on same dinner party, I would have thought Henry Cavill would make the perfect Bond, but half the woman thought he looked gay, which I have to say surprised me, but would explain why he is not in the running. Woman never to surprise me, but I guess that is why we put up with them.

When I read the OP the name Tom Hardy didn't register. Anyway, last evening we watched the Leonardo DiCaprio movie "Inception" and I thought the British guy in it would make a really good James Bond... and guess who it was? Tom Hardy... so yes I agree entirely that he be given the role

Another actor who I'd hope was considered is James Purefoy... he'd have made a great Bond, although Moira says he'd be equally good as the villain. And I'd also suggest Ciaran Hines as a further contender, although he's missed the boat now because of his age; like Connery he is another dark-featured Irishman and he'd have been absolutely perfect in my view
