Oh, and we could have an X-men crossover with Danny DiVito as Wolverine.

I dunno what happens to actors when they play James Bond, but they tend to physically fall apart afterwards. Daniel Craig somehow looks like he's 80 now

Someone already mentioned Craig so I'm going over the rest.

  • Brosnan was 48? during his last Bond movie and I think he looked good in The November Man, which was 10 years after his last Bond movie. He's 70 now so obviously he looks like shit now.
  • Dalton looked great in Hot Fuzz and that was almost 20 years after his Bond movies. Dalton is nearing 80 so he also obviously looks like shit now.
  • Moore, if I did my math right, was almost 60 when he Bond career ended. I have no idea what he did after Bond but when you stop being Bond at his age it shouldn't come as a surprise if you physically fall off.
  • And then we have Connery who had a long career after Bond.

I'd say it's been mostly Craig who has "fallen apart" but I also think he bulked up for Bond and it took a toll because he pushed beyond his natural physique (he was much leaner before Bond).

Casino Royale was 17 years ago and he was already almost 40 then.

The ultimate spy is the one you'd never expect.

No one would expect a person who announces their full name everywhere they go to be a spy!

So I clearly can't choose the wine in front of me!

However, iocaine, like esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and fugitive from the law Margot Robbie, comes from Australia. As everyone knows, Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So, I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

007 The Inconceivable Agent

The article title names three persons who I do not know. Considering I am unfamiliar with these persons or their names, should I be interested at all in this article?

Yes please!
