  • The next Bond. Hopefully someone less blue-collar

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 25 03:04:14 2021
    The next Bond apparently will be male. Good thing, that girl who played "a" 007 in the last Bond film was lousy, no charisma what so ever. The male to play Bond could be black or white, but please, NOT a FROG!
    Not a sissy like Roger Moore, not a fop like Pierce Brosnan. Plus, the guy from "The Bodyguard" though good in that is too "street" to play Bond. Plus, the average 20-something Western male is at least 6ft tall now so they need someone a tad over that,
    otherwise, he'll look like a dwarf.

    If I were choosing, I’d sign up Henry Cavill as the next James Bond.

    It's got to be a Brit.

    Shaun Connery was Scottish and he’s the definitive Bond, so I’d say Irish is close enough.

    "Brit" is short for "British" or "Britain", which in turn is short for
    "Great Britain" or "British Isles", which means the joint countries of
    England, Wales, and Scotland (it does not include Northern Ireland,
    while "United Kingdom" does). :-)

    Henry Cavill is a bit complicated. He's not Irish. He was born and
    raised on the small island of Jersey in the English Channel, which is independent and so not part of the "United Kingdom" or "Great Britain",
    but the islands are included in the term "British Isles" so he is still "British" to some degree.


    I've never seen him in anything, so no idea if he's the right actor to
    play James Bond ... then again, I don't like James Bond movies, so
    don't really care (*if* "007" and "James Bond" are just codenames for
    the agent*, then it explains the different people already having played
    the role, and could mean easily changing to a "Politically
    Correct"-appeasing woman or different ethnicity).

    * It would be rather ridiculous for a secret agent to go around using his
    real name after all.

    You are aware Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill is British?
