Classic Bond Forum

Ian Fleming was asked in 1961 which actors resembled Bond. These are the seven actors he suggested:



Richard Burton



Stewart Granger



Rex Harrison



David Niven



James Mason



Patrick McGoohan



Cary Grant

McGoohan looks the most like Craig in that pic. Not much, but a little.

I always thought he looked like Roy Schneider.

Funny though, I always thought Roger Moore started to resemble Rex Harrison by the 80s.

Here is the composite image made up of the actors Fleming mentioned that scientists made last year:

The first three made me think of Ian.

Maybe a little. Only after Daniel's Steve McQueen ultimate makeover.

Nah, Damian Lewis looks more like McQueen.

Even with the red hair


(I LOVE the idea of Kevin Mc Kidd playing Bond..but if people have issues with a blonde Bond,imagine the issues they'd have with a ginger one..he'd have to dye his hair. )

Mckidd would be the "Daywalker Bond"

Ha Ha, that is so true!! did you also konw that Fleming's Bond also had blond and was well under 6ft tall? He threw bodies of freinds in dumptrucks and didnt give a damm about how he had his martini's? fleming to the letter!!!

That.Is.Hilarious.

but the pro Craigs probably won't think so

That is clearly not funny.

My vote would either go to McKidd or Lewis.Though they would probably have to dye their hair

Just as jokes about religion are "clearly not funny" to the devout and jokes about politicians are "clearly not funny" to their staunchest supporters. Your problem, I'm afraid to say, is that you have absolutely no sense of humour whatsoever where Craig is concerned. I bet if it was a similar joke about Brosnan, you'd be laughing your arse off.

And people wonder why I accuse some pro-Craigs of having no sense of humor

Jackman.....Jackman.....hire him Eon....do it soon....

I think the Jackman boat might have sailed. Henry Cavill must be in pole-position...unless Babs has another bombshell up her sleeve.

I think Worthington next, then Cavill. I hope so, anyway. Cavill is still a little fresh-faced at the mo. Though it depends on how long Craig stays in the role, I suppose. I'm pretty confident it won't be Jackman or Bale, however much the fans may want them.

Cavill in 10 years, maybe.I can't say I agree about Jackman..

sorry
