next bond's nationality?

not including David Niven from casino royale, as, as i've mentioned elsewhere on these boards, no-one ever does, for a very good reason, every JB has been from a different country: respectively Scotland, Australia, England, Wales & Ireland. So in keeping with tradition, where shall the next Bond actor hark from?
As a kiwi I vote NZ, although I'm not sure of an appropriate contender for such a definitive role, eg Not Russell Crowe. But for that matter, I have trouble seeing anyone in the role, regardless of nationality.
?

next one: in the countries you named, minus NZ and Australia

besides who wants to count georgey-boy as a bond 😛

I dunno, maybe a guy from the channel islands or Feroe Islands....

the Cook-islands too 😉

i suppose it would be widely considered simply WRONG to cast an american, although i have thought george clooney could make a good one if he can do a british (or scottish*) accent.

*interesting trivia note: ian fleming wanted roger moore to play bond originally but he was busy making the Saint for tv so it went to connery (yay for fate!), and he made such an impression on ian that his later novels stated bond's (previously unconfirmed) nationality as scottish.

it's not aboot the accent though 😉

it has to be British because it has to be
he wouldn't be James Bond without his British charm

you DO know that George Lazenby was from Australia, mate?

bottom line hes gotta sound british

put please no american dumbass

indeed no Americains because i dont mean to be rude but it will ruin it

that's putting it mildly, double o ash

I've nothing against anyone being the next Bond...as long as he's Christian Bale... 😮‍💨

*goes off to change his name to Christian Bale*

I would love to say a few phrases in a bond movie 😊

I'd just love to shag Lois Chiles. 😇

why would they ruin it?

'cause Bond ain't American. ❌

he's also not australian, so?

Ello, I am Bond, Apu [insert long hindu name here] Bond! Do not steal my twinties or I'll blow your bloody head off. **Meant as a joke** Albert Broccelli only wanted an English gentlemen to play the part of Bond because Bond is English. There can't be anyone else. Lazenby was Australian and he only played the part for one movie. It only did well because Bond fought Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE, played by Telly Salvas. (Forget the spelling of his name). All the actors who played Bond have been English-que since.
