Kris, most of the photos aren't displaying.
Re: Bond actors at 45
It's funny, they were displaying OK this morning, now I can only see the Lazenby and (unfortunately) Craig ones. Looks like I'll have to find replacements. Spoilers: the others all look better than Craig.John P. Drake wrote:Kris, most of the photos aren't displaying.

Re: Bond actors at 45
Happens, I know what you mean. And yes, Lazenby looks a lot better as 'JB' (from UNCLE) than Cr-egg in his mid-40s.Kristatos wrote:It's funny, they were displaying OK this morning, now I can only see the Lazenby and (unfortunately) Craig ones.

Re: Bond actors at 45
Lazenby looked like he could have still played Bond for a few more years after OHMSS, too bad EON gave him the boot.

Re: Bond actors at 45
EON didn't. He walked out because his agent said "Bond movies are dying with the sixties", for which he was later proven wrong, and Laz was able to regret it. He then asked Cubby if he could play Bond one more time in 1972 before Moore was hired, the producer declined his offer.Jamesdude wrote:Lazenby looked like he could have still played Bond for a few more years after OHMSS, too bad EON gave him the boot.

Re: Bond actors at 45
There is a story on one of the DVD special features where someone claimed the studio did not want Lazenby to return telling Cubby and co. to get Connery back no matter the cost. I'm unsure how true this is since Lazenby announced he quit before the movie released.

Re: Bond actors at 45
John Gavin signed a deal to star in Diamonds Are Forever up until the last minute when the studio people elected to bring Connery back no matter how it costs. Filming was a couple of days away. Gavin, however, was paid due to his contract and departed.Blowfeld wrote:There is a story on one of the DVD special features where someone claimed the studio did not want Lazenby to return telling Cubby and co. to get Connery back no matter the cost.

Re: Bond actors at 45
I'm sure a back up 007 actor is signed right now, I doubt we'll know the name before these people sell their autobiography.

Re: Bond actors at 45
Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy are the biggest clues. However, we could be really wrong. Someone unexpectedly could be showing up like Ben Affleck did in the role of Batman.Blowfeld wrote:I'm sure a back up 007 actor is signed right now, I doubt we'll know the name before these people sell their autobiography.

Re: Bond actors at 45
He also kept himself wimping out when Kannanga tied him and Solitaire behind his boat and tortured them while driving it. In FYEO, when Kristatos did that to Bond and Melina, 007 didn't wimp out at all, and yet they call Roger Moore a "soft guy". Yeah. Right.
Re: Bond actors at 45
Give or take a year or two. If you want to split hairs, it's a photo of each man taken from a film released 45 years after the year of their birth. I haven't taken into account either birthdays or any lag between filming and release dates (though to my knowledge, none of the films sat on the shelf for years before their release.)Omega wrote:I can see the all except Connery.

Re: Bond actors at 45
I put a new Connery one in there. The ones that weren't displaying on my phone were all resized, so I will have to look for smaller versions. Don't have time right now, though.

Re: Bond actors at 45
Yeah, Murder On The Orient Express, one of my personal favourite!! He looks really good in there!
Re: Bond actors at 45
Unfortunately, it was during his "huge moustache" phase, which I think makes him look older. He had the 'tache in all 3 movies he made that year.John P. Drake wrote:Yeah, Murder On The Orient Express, one of my personal favourite!! He looks really good in there!

Re: Bond actors at 45
What do you say, FBF? Wouldn't it be awesome if we had Sean and Pierce in one spy movie? Sean being the boss and Pierce being the operative. Now that would've been literally awesome.
