Not the right look for Bond is what I would describe him.

Is that a real quote or just a joke about Babs' lack of taste?

This was widely reported at the time. I've printed the relevant passage from the source below. You honestly couldn't make this stuff up.

How Craig beat his rivals

The new James Bond was officially (unveiled) last week - along with the secret of how he beat his rivals to the plum role. British actor Daniel Craig was confirmed as the sixth 007. He will be the first blond Bond - and the shortest. But according to a leaked memo from film producers, Craig was head and shoulders above his rivals for the part. Hugh Jackman, it read, was "too fey", Colin Farrell "too sleazy", Eric Bana "not handsome enough" - and Ewan McGregor "too short" at 5ft 10. The email, from Cubby Broccoli's Eon Productions, added that Barbara Broccoli had championed Craig.

I bet it was ultimately Cubby's call with who he chose as Bond.

Now his daughter is doing the same, but it's suddenly a problem...?
