Hugh Jackman voted as most suited to play James Bond
London
Who should play the role of the suave double agent James Bond after current James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan retires from the role next year? People think Hugh Jackman, and Brosnan seems to agree.
According to The Daily Mail, Hollywood hunk Hugh Jackman has been voted as the man most suited to don the mantle of James Bond, in a survey conducted by Skymovies.com.
The "X-Men" actor piped "Troy" star Orlando Bloom, who was voted as the second favorite. To add icing to the cake, Jackman was also named as the best contender by Pierce Brosnan himself.
The most popular stars to play the role of the superstar were:
1. Hugh Jackman
2. Orlando Bloom
3. Colin Farrell
4. Clive Owen
5. Robbie Williams
6. Rupert Everett
7. David Beckham
8. Ioan Gruffudd
9. Colin Salmon(ANI)
NO! As for the his acting ability, I have yet to see something that really impress me, his acting was too exaggerated for my liking (everything)or he failed to loosen up when needed (Van Helsing). I must tell you there are many many good actors in the world, and what makes HJ better than them?! NO! HJ was consistently overrated yet studio and innocent ppl paid the price. Maramix experienced a credit crunch after flop Kate and Leopoldand had to cut 15% of employees, mostly low to middle level staff, while HJ laughed all the way to bank and the poor laid off ppl. Universal is yet to recoup the cost of Van Helsing, and the planned TV series and ambitious revigoration of Universal age-old fanchise Dracula now gone nowhere.
Have you watched Steve Irwin in Animal Planet? Everytime I watch he reminds me of HJ, both mug in front of the camera, both hail from Aus (is that a trait?). I am not exactly a fan of mugging. (though some middle age queen maybe a fan)
Look does contribute to the suitability of JB roll. Look is important to JB roll and nose made up a big part of a man's face so nose is important. Bond should have very distinguished look and cold persona, not someone with a wolf features. This is so un Bondish.
Fans say (Skynews)
I think if the likes of Orlando Bloom and Jude Law were to play such a demanding role at an extremely young age they would struggle immensely. I say stick with Brosnan for a while and wait for the others to age a bit or alternatively don't make anymore Bond films because they are beginning to get tedious now as they are all nearly the same.

It's an established fact that James Bond is a Commander in the Royal Navy. You can't have freckle-faced actors taking the role for that very reason. If you want that, go and watch Spy Kids

Pierce has surpassed himself as James Bond - why change him when there is no need? He is fabulous. Let him at least do one more film... please?
Rachel, Essex
I think Pierce has been a great Bond. I wish the films had more thought to them. I've always thought Ewan McGregor with short dark hair would be a good Bond. Who ever he is, he needs to be British. Daniel, Cheshire
Hugh Jackman as Bond? Remember the last Aussie to play Bond? Bond from the Bristish Isles please and another one from Pierce.
Darran Hoare
Pierce has been the only one who is in the position to surpass Sean Connery. He has done exceptionally with the role of James Bond and should be given some latitude as to how the Bond series should continue in the future.

How about Alfie Moon?
Catherine, Wallasey
I would love to see Pierce stay on to be Bond but in his absence my choice would be Dougray Scott. He has the right looks and charm and a wonderful voice.
Helen, Gloucester
Whoever is behind the decision to bring in a new Bond needs to be shown the ejector seat and given a test flight. Pierce Brosnan is second to none when it comes to playing 007 so leave him be.
Royston Crandley, Berkshire
I would love to see Pierce Brosnan stay on longer as James Bond. He's still very youthful and has a lot to offer. I don't think that the likes of Orlando Bloom or Jude Law could pull off the role yet.
Rachael, Cheshire
Another Pierce Brosnan one please.
Glynis O'Sullivan, Ireland
I think Nigel Harmen (Dennis Jr from Eastenders) would be good.
Susan Longley
The current James Bond is the best ever. You cannot outsource James Bond now we have a good one. They should keep him.
John, Germany
Why mend something that isn't broken? We currently have the most suave, handsome, charming, "tongue-in-cheek" Bond there has ever been. Why on earth would they even dream of giving the job to someone else?
Anita, Long Eaton

That's the *checks* fourth time you've posted this, Dber. STOP IT!!! WE GET IT!!! There's no need to post the same thing over and over and over!!!
But your most recent post is just baffling. Even if that one person that you've highlighted agrees with you, what's that supposed to prove? That your view is shared by others? We know that already!
