Please respond. If you don't know who he is or have your doubts check this out

I'd rather see any of the other previously mentioned candidates before Rossdale was considered. He just doesn't have quite the right look. I'm sure he's a good actor, but I wouldn't put him anywhere near the top of the list.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Gwen Stefani's beau, eh? Has the looks, but he doesn't have the potential to be Bond.

[blackalpha]

...and by the way has anyone seen Constantine?
I thought he made a convincing bond in that film. Agree?

[Mister Asterix]

At least on the pictures on the website you provided he looks a bit feminine for James Bond.

He could play Jane Bond then.

[Aussie21]

I actually have no idea who he is. I've heard of him, but mainly because he's mentioned when people talk about Gwen Stefani. Other than that, I can honestly say I've never seen him in a television show or film.

He's got the look, I'd say, but I'm not sure if he has the acting chops. And he's a bit young. I'd take him over Daniel Craig, but I'd have to stick with the other candidates before him.

I thought he was terrible in Constantine.

[royalmile]

No, not Gavin. Unless it's just between him and Clive Owen.

[Pussfeller]

He's about as un-Bondian as they come: blond, scrawny, doe-eyed, and effeminate. Even in his best pictures, he's downright epicine. Not to mention that he's a musician, as opposed to, say, I don't know, an actor. But don't take my word for it. Just imagine for yourself...


"The name's Bond, James Bond."

here is a little bit of an interview between Gavin and indielondon.co.uk

Q: Would you be a contender for James Bond? Would you go to that extent to be a celebrity?
A: I feel quite proud that I have always stayed true to what my passions are rather than trying to be a celebrity. Liza Minnelli said a career is a series of comebacks. So that

[Qwerty]

No.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

The only thing that would even put his name next to the Bond franchise is that he could sing the next Bond tune.

But that's it, that is far he could go if he wants to be associated with James Bond, not playing him.

[KB 007]

He used to be the lead singer of Bush right?

[Bond_Bishop]

He has more of the Bond look than Daniel Craig

[basildon_bond]

All of these hideous names that keep cropping are very amusing. Robbie from Eastenders? The lead singer from Bush?

Stop it! All of you!

[Agent 76]

He looks like a Jude Law's brother to me.

[luciusgore]

I actually thought about this when I saw CONSTANTINE. He doesn't have quite the acting chops for it.

[spynovelfan]

Quite like some of Bush's stuff, myself, despite the Nirvana-lite tag. But Bond? Is it likely? He used to go out with 80s pop-star Marilyn, which isn't great press. (As for him looking like Jude Law, it was recently revealed that he has a 'love-child' by Pearl Lowe, whose swinging fling with Law a couple of years ago ruined his marriage.)

I know all the goss, me.

[Sam Fisher]

No. It's just like asking Ian Astbury of The Cult or even my fave Alice Cooper to play Bond. It won't happen.

But Alice would make a sweet villian although

So I start the "Alice Cooper for Bond 22 Villian" Campagin today

I thought he was terrible in Constantine, and not a very good actor. The worst part of that film.

What do you know? If you have read any reviews from people who have to determine what good acting is then you would find that all agree that he was great in constantine and should have had a much bigger part. Besides, I bet you think Gigli contained the most impressive acting performances ever to grace film.

[Xenia_Onatopp]

Uh, YES or NO what?

Would I like him to be my plaything? YES
He was a cutie patootie in Constantine.

Would he be James Bond material? NO
Too young, too small, too pretty.

Marilyn being a man, for those lacking a knowledge of long-forgotten minor British pop stars of the '80s - if memory serves, a "gender-bending" (as The Sun would have put it), cross-dressing singer and cohort of Boy George.

[Skudor]

No. Doesn't have the look. Haven't got a clue if he can act; didn't know he existed until 2 minutes ago.

Yes, a ruthlessly ambitious but, I fear, talentless coat-tail rider, who managed, for a brief few seconds, to impress some of the world's most famous people, including a few with Bond connections:

French-kissing Debbie Harry in the USA

A night out with May Day

Squeezing Ms Ross

Would you like to see my Goldeneye?

I think I'll dye another day

Boy George's hilarious (and at times moving) autobiography TAKE IT LIKE A MAN features a lot of Marilyn (and contains the nugget that he and Mr Stefani used to be lovers).

[The Dove]

ROTFLMA You must be joking!! Gavin Rossdale as Bond?? You gotta be kidding. By the way, is Bush even still together, or did the break up? Haven't heard anything from them for a while..
