Can you imagine that James Bond could be Henry Cavill? Or Sam Heughan? Well, if Daniel Craig had not been elected at the time, They both could have had a chance to order a mixed, not shaken Martini on the big screen. Sadly for them, Craig was unanimously elected by the committee that elects the new Bond (and which will now be in full black smoke) in a democratic manner. Although there were those who found themselves with a dilemma: What if the actor… isn’t handsome enough?
Beauty is on the outside
Martin Campbell, the director of ‘Casino Royale’, told Express UK that he, personally, I wasn’t entirely convinced with Craig’s choice. because he did not follow the traditional Bond model like, for example, Pierce Brosnan, from whom he took the mantle: “My only reluctance with Daniel… He has always been an outstanding actor, there is no doubt… It was the fact that people like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan They always look like traditional Bonds: gorgeous, sexy guys, very attractive to women. and else”.
Daniel was obviously tougher and tougher, but he wasn’t a traditional handsome guy. So I thought about it for a while, and other than that, it was always him without a doubt.
The truth is that, if you remember, Daniel Craig suffered hate from fans (as whoever comes after will suffer, whoever it may be). Casting manager Debbie McWilliams spoke about this in EW: “The press response was horrible and I feel sorry for him, but somehow I think it encouraged him to do his best to show everyone they were wrong.“. Five films later, we can’t imagine anyone else like Bond. Mission accomplished.
