And that's all you do, I hardly see you participate in a food fight.

You know you've been guilty of dooming and glooming. Remember before the release of CR?

Why would I fight with anyone? Forums are for pure entertainment, just like the movies we all critique.

Last night I was out at a bar with some friends of mine and one of them turned to me and asked me how old Daniel Craig is. I said it's either 38 or 39. My friend, who is 39 years old, then said that he had gone on some website that tells you which celebrities are the same age as yourself and that it named Daniel Craig as being the same age as him.

My friend said that it also had a picture of Daniel Craig, and when he saw the picture he thought to himself that it had to be a mistake, that Craig had to be at least in his late 40's if not even his 50's.

I told him that yes, Craig really was in that 38/39 age range, even though most people think he looks older than that. My friend then agreed that Brosnan still looks younger than Craig. This particular friend of mine is not a Bond fan, in fact he rarely ever watches movies at all. But still, it's one more person who when seeing Daniel Craig thought that who ever hired Craig must be on drugs or something.

My misses isn't really a Bond fan either, but loves Daniel Craig, loves CR, and cannot wait for Bond 22.

One more person who thinks different to your friend..... :wink:

Don't forget Magazine listings, pre-Bond and post-Bond. :P

I find it unfair that you guys only want to compare Craig to two babyfaced Bonds while you forget about Connery looking older than his age, especially when you have Moore at 46 on LALD looking younger than Connery at 41 on DAF.

Congrats on 003 status. Quite an accomplishment here for someone with your counter views! I bet that status means more to you than the Jetsetter's role at MI6! :lol:

Connery's still looking good even he's already white-haired. As well as Dalton, he's still got hero figure with him, even he was playing a moustached villain (in Hot Fuzz). I just wonder what would Craig look like if he's the same age as these other old Bond actors.
BOND sells, NOT CRAIG
The reboot is a risky area, did Eon need to do it? NO. Did this confuse alot of people? YES.
The Bond character will always be anchored in the values of the 60s

Regarding the Bond at the end of his career idea - Eon have junked the Bond series "because it's fun" as Barbara Broccoli said. Anything goes with the franshise now, so I think an entry showing an older Bond would be good.

I would have preferred another entry using the same template as the first 20 movies with a handsome James Bond though.

Alright alright I get it. You guys think Brosnan looks more youthful at his age than compared to Craig.


But I am not really getting the picture... Craig at 39 looking older than Brosnan at 55...

Why does Daniel Craig always have his mouth puckered up in such a ridiculous way? I'm sorry this guy is seriously ugly! And he does look older than Pierce - and Pierce is 54 btw.
