Next James Bond?

I can imagine him to be. He got the looks close to the original idea, blue eyes, they can get his hair darker. A bit more workout and he's ready.

Not sure if he got the right voice though.

Going from Craig to a very young james bond makes alot of sense. In Craigs version he get's upgraded to double O status in his late thirties, while if Claflin played the role he'd be given the status in his late twenties.

Someone more young and vicious, I also like his nice guy looks as well, unusual but we need to remember Bond was originally a navy serviceman, what made him special wasn't his physical prowess but instead purely psychological.

I could totally see him as the next James Bond there is only one issue that's his age.

Why because the age of his Bond girls would be really norrowed to 20 something actressses or at most a 30 year old while with an older actor the age of Bond girls is wider.

Examples Die Another Day and Spectre.

In die Another day we had Rosamund pike who was 22 years old and Halley Berry who was almost 40 years old and with Spectre we had Lea who was 20 something and Monica who was 50 years old.
