Sean Connery was so sexy and masculine .
I found Roger Moore rather like The Saint -though he was amusing .
Daniel Craig was incredible.

Aiden Turner (Poldark) is my suggestion, irish accent,looks good in a suit,about right age,and attracts the ladies.

Roger Moore for me and James Norton would make a great bond.

I also loved Roger Moore in the role- think it was the wry humour he brought. Also think James Norton would. make a great Bond.

I remember watching first Daniel Craig Bond film, just after Christmas that year- and being introduced as the new Bond coming out of the sea in those blue swimming trunks. Memorable and a close second - his blue eyes were mesmerising. A completely different Bond.

Sean Connery was a bit before my time but can see why he is a favourite for many.

James Bond needs to be dark haired, lean, chiselled features, handsome but rather a cruel look to him.

(How Ian Fleming pictured him).

How about Aiden Turner? He’s such a looker, has the personality and very masculine.

Bond was not a good fit for Roger Moore, as The Saint he was excellent.

Sean Connery's first three Bonds are probably the best of the series, and while I quite liked Daniel Craig, he seemed to lack the humour of previous Bonds.
Roger Moore was 007 when I was growing up and I quite liked how he brought a lot of humour to the role, as well as all the gadgets. However, he lacked the edge of Connery's Bond and was too old by his last film.

David Gyasi. Played Achilles in Troy so good at all the violence and mayhem, and a gorgeous, super suave Foreign Secretary in ‘The Diplomat” on Netflix.

David Oyelowo
Tom Hardy
Rege - Jean Page

I agree SpinDrift with James Norton.

To me, Sean Connery will always be ‘James Bond’, probably because he was the first, and the one I grew up with.

Ian Fleming, his creator, based his looks on the singer Hoagy Carmichael.

Connery and Craig will always be the best Bonds imo.

I cannot think of anyone I believe will do a good job at replacing Craig at the moment. I hope they find the right combination of rugged and suave, as contradictory as that sounds. Bond is a rough guy who also knows how to be refined when the moment calls for it. None of today’s younger actors have that sort of presence.

I like Jack Lowden in Slow Horses but I dont think he's Bond, Tom Holland possibly but its going to be hard to live up to Daniel Craig or Sean Connery. Never liked Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan.

I think Daniel Craig has been the best Bond so far, when he was announced as the new bond I was so disappointed, 10 minutes into his first movie I was converted!

Today is James Bond day. Although I am not a fan I did like it when I was a little girl. There is currently a lot of speculation about who will replace Daniel Craig. Some of the names in the frame, Callum Turner, Tom Holland, JackLowden,Jack Barton, to name a few are just not doing it for me. Stars of today seem to be very ordinary looking. I liked Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan who in my opinion who are all devastaingly handsome. What are your thoughts?
