Timothy Dalton Discusses James Bond And 'Hot Fuzz'

New interview with the former 007 star

[bond 16.05.72]

What a great interview, so lovely to see Tim so enthusiastic about Hot Fuzz, I hope this means more high profile roles for Tim he's been away from the big screen for too long.

He seems such a nice down to earth guy, always loved him as Bond and it's great through Daniel Craig's performance that he's starting to get some praise for his tenure as 007.

Kudos to Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright for casting Tim in the role, he looks like he had a ball doing it, can't wait to see it, unfortunately I have to wait till next Wednesday, hope everyone enjoys it as well, Shaun was genius.

I hope to see more of Mr. Dalton too, he's a cracking guy!

Down to earth, funny, educated and a great actor to boot!



Anyone remember Flash Gordon?!

[Bondian]

Tim's always a true gentleman, like our Rog.

[Byron]

Thanks for this Royal Dalton.

I was overjoyed seeing that big smile on Tim's face when he said what a great film CR is.

He seems genuinely happy that the series is heading back in the direction that he took it in, in 89.

And the host, for once, was quite informed about Dalton's tenure and how his Bond paved the way for Craig.

Wonderful stuff.

thanks for the link.

dalton truly is a great guy

i sincerely hope he gets more meaty roles , perhaps tarantino would cast as an army general.

do for dalton what he did for travolta.

[Jim]

What a nice chap.

[sharpshooter]

The man is a legend. Hope the film does well enough to give him the praise he deserves. Like Sanchez said " You have class".

[Jeff007]

Dalton is an amazing actor. I'd like to see him playing a good guy a bit more. Seems like he's been playing a lot of villians, post Bond.

[Blabbermouth]

Very good actor and seems like a nice guy. And a nice bonus with him supporting Man City.

[DamnCoffee]

Great interview nice to see Dalton again. What a great gentleman , he still looks ok for another Bond.

Not only do I remember it, I clearly recall seeing it and suddenly thinking 'that man was born to play Bond'. Although I'd been aware of him previously in his period roles. He is one of our greats, to be sure.

[sharpshooter]

I agree. It is amazing how this man seems to have a timeless look about him. He doesnt seem to age at all really.

You know I never noticed that till then. Like full on, he doesnt look like he's aged at all since LTK. Unlike poor Rog and Sean who got the beating of their lives by father Time.

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright did. Apparently they were more excited at having Prince Barin in their midst than James Bond!

Loved this interview ( and the BBC Breakfast one). Thought Tim was terrific. It was fabulous to hear him talk so enthusiastically and genuinely about Craig and CR as well. It was a shame the interview had to end when it did.

Fantastic interview. Many thanks for posting, Royal Dalton.

[deth]

yup.... give him a bit more hair (a la Sean), dye it.... and we've got ourselves a James Bond! ... actually, you never know... that's what could have ended up happening had it not been for the early 90's problems.... Dalton could have been Bond for 15 years...

[RivenWinner]

man i wish hollywood would give this guys more roles

[Major Tallon]

Very nice. Dalton's become a lot more comfortable over the years doing promotions for his various projects. It's a pleasure to watch and listen to him.

As much as I admire Craig, Dalton's still my James Bond.

[B5Erik]

I can't wait to see Hot Fuzz.

I just wish that he could have gotten more roles over the last 10-12 years.

I love how he is such a class act when it comes to talking about Casino Royale and Daniel Craig.

[Pam Bouvier]

Wow. He seems so relaxed and he still has that great smile. Thanks for posting this. I haven;t seen a Dalton interview in ages. He may be a little thinner on top, but God, he is still an amazing looking man.
It will be fun to see this movie.

[pat006]

tim looks great!!!!
he is in a great mood very relaxed and happy to be there promoting the film and 007 as well, check out the various clips of his two bonds and only one from hot fuzz!
very nice to hear the interviewer saying dalton`s bond is being revisited and ahead of his time!!

[Qwerty]

I can't wait to see Hot Fuzz.

I've seen very few non-Bond movies with Dalton, but this one looks quite fun. I'm looking forward to it as well.

Very good actor and seems like a nice guy. And a nice bonus with him supporting Man City.

Maybe he can pry Shaun Wright-Philips from Chelski. Y'all need help on the wings.

For real though. Before Craig appeared on David Letterman, Dave held up a photo of each actor who played Bond (sans Nelson or Niven). Dalton got a nice response. History will be kind to Dalton's tenure as 007.

I say again that Dalton's biggest sin was that he wasn't Pierce Brosnan back in 1986. That's who folks wanted & Dalton suffered as a result.

They wante PB as a result of Remenington Steele. A show nobody remembers any more. For good reason.
