Indeed. Who among us is a perfect physical specimen? I'm sure as heck not. What's worth poking fun at, I think, is Hollywood's obsession with How People Should Look™. Brosnan and Craig wouldn't be seen dead going before the cameras looking how they look naturally - why is this?

Looking Good = Movie Looks Good = Money?
But what does Craig look like naturally? I mean I know there is the make up and editing that helps but what are the other things for him?

Well, put it this way: if you look closely in OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH, you'll see him sporting rather more body hair than in the decade-later CASINO ROYALE.

Also, that famous CR physique ain't exactly natural. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Bond to have the body of Brosnan in that THOMAS CROWN pic I put up on this thread, instead of looking like one of Schwarzenegger's gym buddies?

Honestly, following the diet and workout routine of the literary Bond, it would be more "in character" to have the body of Brosnan in the "real life" pic, on the right of the THOMAS CROWN one...

Hair is a funny thing...

As you get older you lose it on your head but it grows everywhere else (nose, ears, etc.)

(Let's hope the Bald Bond Curse doesnt strike Craig..too soon ).

Well he's pretty much already there. Looking at his real life photos vs his appearance in QOS, I think its clear that he's had some "assistance" on his head onscreen.

Oh and who is Rog fooling - 80 year old man with a full head of chestnut brown hair?

No! Craig wearing a rug? Surely not?

[Dekard77]

Brosnan has aged a bit. But I do feel it's the short haircut and the angle more than the actual hair loss. I know some friends with short hair cuts look extremely bald......or balding .But when it grows a bit it's different.

What I am more concerned is how Brosnan is putting on weight, off screen I have no issues but not in movies. It's really not good. Oh well !

Some show on television's big story the other day claimed that Paul Newman liked to drink BEER! OH GOSH!!!!!!

I dont for one minute believe that Pierce wore any sort of toupe in any of his bond films.
Compare publicity photos to recent pics and his hairline is no different, it has always been slightly higher on the right of his temple for many years.

His current bald patch could be due to any number of things, when my great grandfather died, my great grandmother lost all of her hair because of stress.

Well it doesn't have to be a rug, there are products that can thicken it. They probably used the same stuff lying around that they used on Dalton for LTK

That should say AT an Art Opening.
http://women.timeson...icle6181555.ece
Daniel Craig managed to make a suitably James Bond-style entrance to Damien Hirst’s new exhibition in Kiev. “I’ve just flown in from New York. It’s a bit decadent but it was worth coming for the show,” he said, surrounded by ten bodyguards belonging to the gallery’s owner, the industrial magnate Viktor Pinchuk.

Hirst, who revealed his latest plan to “make meteorites out of bronze”, drummed up passing business in the street: “You may love it, you may hate it, but come on down!”


http://www.artforum.com/diary/id=22652



LAST FRIDAY, the PinchukArtCentre in Kiev delivered its “Requiem,” a sprawling selection of Damien Hirst’s recent works, largely culled from private collections. After a year of planning and an eight-week-long install (running up to the final hour before the opening, when assistants were busy hairspraying a giant ashtray), the exhibition is the culmination of the close friendship and creative collaboration between Hirst and collector Victor Pinchuk. The private view took cues from Bulgakov, with a beaming Pinchuk—playing the part of Margarita at the Midnight Ball—welcoming the glittering procession of artists, oil magnates, and other affluent guests filtering through the institution’s single staircase. Over the course of the evening, more than two thousand visitors would brave the crush of the tiny stairwell, among them curators Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sir Norman Rosenthal, and Suzanne Pagé, artist Michael Craig-Martin, and of course Hirst’s London dealer Jay Jopling. Conspicuously absent from the festivities was Hirst’s other dealer, Larry Gagosian. (“I think he had a head cold,” shrugged one art advisor.)...

Not too sure whether that was before or after the Art Opening..

Brosnan certainly gives Connery a run for his money in the chest and tum rug department. You can bet he's naturally got a hairy back and shoulders, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just sayin'.

I bet there's a man-waxing trailer set up just outside the 007 Stage every two years. They cater to depilating Mr Craig and Dench's back at the same time. In fact, there's an old Pinewood rumour that Brosnan would wind down every night with a back, crack and sack job.

A touch of colour enhancement maybe but it looked to be all his when I saw him last month.

There was - and this is not a lie - an old story of Maurice Binder shooting his naked lovelies for a mid-Moore Bond film when Roger Moore wandered onto his set to see Binder combing down the wayward bush of some model as her front-garden was looking a bit unkempt in silhouette. Moore's typical response was "I think I'm in the wrong job".

[I never miss]

Typical Moore. Another great line involved Lois Maxwell introducing James Clavell's daughter (in OP) as 'Miss Penelope Smallbush'. Moore quipped - 'Well, we all know where your mind is Miss Moneypenny!'

Indeed that is a terrible angle- His hair looked a bit thin in TWINE when wet (shot of him climbing into the Q-boat) , but not what I would call balding by any stretch. Did he really wear a rug in those films? Doubt it. In fact, his haircut in that pic just isn't that great. Perhaps a thinning razor was used? When I was 13 I used one on myself thinking I could get a styling Bond look and created a HUGE bald spot (just like his) that I needed to cover up for two months. It grew back and all remains some 21 years later

For Pierce, I'd say grow it out to GoldenEye length and he'd be just fine. Other than his new style -do, I'd say he still looks pretty Bond-like.

[dodge]

Dude's been thinning for years. I saw him at Wimbledon the other year (on TV, I hasten to add, not in person) and there was a heck of a lot of scalp to be seen.

Craig's the same, though. He's got massive slap in real life - he almost looks like John Malkovich. Grey hair, too.

I did notice that in a picture taken in March..

Good grief. Burt Reynolds knew how to handle the prob.

[double o ego]

I fail to see what the huge problem is here, particularly with Craig. It's obvious he got a hair cut, which people get. However, there are barbers or hairdressers who may cut the hair differently from what is intended.
That shot of Craig above looks more like the barber gave craig a very low cut and when giving him his shape up/mark up, took the line back a bit...which is annoying but perfectly managble if time is permitted to let the hair grow out.

http://www.express.c...s-hands-of-soap

SIR ROGER MOORE has ruled out appearing in a soap opera like several of his fellow screen veterans.


While former Bond girl Honor Blackman and Sir Ian McKellen both made memorable guest appearances in Coronation Street, Stephanie Beacham is currently in the show and Edward Woodward recently starred in EastEnders, Sir Roger insists it does not appeal.

“Soap operas have very tough and quick schedules,” says Moore, 81. “I think I’m far too lazy to consider working long days with those early starts.”

The former Bond star jokily adds: “Mind you, if they had a character in something like Casualty who would lie in bed all day covered in bandages I’d do that. Then I could just phone my dialogue in at the end of the week!”

There are those who think that phoning in his performance was exactly what Rog did in his Bond films…

Daniel Craig at Liverpool soccer game

Here is Dan, at Anfield, enjoying Liverpool's win over my beloved Newcastle United. How dare he celebrate beating Newcastle when he played a character from that city in "Our Friends in the North"?!!

What about the hat????

Daniel Craig is spotted leaving Nobu restaurant in London on Wednesday (May 13).


Daniel Craig looked like he'd had a few too many vodka martinis as he stumbled out of Nobu restaurant in Mayfair last night.

Dr No-bu: Daniel Craig after his Mayfair meal

A witness said the Bond star, who was out with girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell and daughter Ella, bumped into the door on the way out, exclaiming: "Whoopsie daisy!" Whoopsie daisy? That doesn't sound to us like a very Bond thing to say.

It does stagger me that there may have been such fascinating moments like this that we have actually missed and that we do not have all the photos of a man leaving the place he has eaten a meal at...

Just thought some people might like to view them, that's all.
I see he's still wearing his Liverpool Badge.

[DamnCoffee]

I like his scarff, even though it looks like he's escaped a suicide by hanging.

This is the stuff that actors who have reached celebrity status must cringe at. They can't even go out for a meal and a drink or two, and possibly get a little sloshed like the rest of us, without having it photographed and commented on for public consumption.

Yes, I know, this is the price they pay for being in the public eye, but I do find it quite unsettling. (By the way: This is not directed at the original poster, who is just sharing what was already there. It's just a comment on the larger issue of celebrity worship and how the media play on that and keep it going by hyping it to the next level, and then the next one, and the next one . . . and on it goes. There simply is no such thing as privacy for these folks.)

Quite. And is possibly this sort of pap behaviour that will quicken Craig's exit from Bond.
