How is it possible a message about Robbie Williams, already has more replies than threads about real potential candidates like # 1 Criteria for Casting Bond 6 or The Richest Man in the Poorhouse? You guys should get your priorities straight.

Reasons why Robbie Williams should not play Bond:

1) He is 5' 2".

2) He has a thick Scouse (liverpool) accent.

3) He has no acting ability.

4) He has no class whatsoever.

5) He is plastered with tatoos (I know Bond's supposed to be a sailor but come on....)

6) He would look as at home in a tuxedo as Brosnan would in a Slipknot hoodie.

7) He is incredibly annoying.

Yeah, I'd go along with that. Besides, can you imagine Williams as Bond about to put on a wetsuit? He takes his shirt off and the CGI bill for digitally removing his tattoos would be astronomical.

Millennium was a complete lift of John Barry's theme to You Only Love Twice albeit with different words.

Hence he is a karaoke singer ...

I'm with Mr Trump on this one. I agree with all you guys that Williams should not ever play Bond, for all reasons already stated, but to Taxman2001- well, Swing When You're Winning was actually supposed to be a tribute album, and the whole point of Millenium, both score and video, was to stake his claim as the next Bond. He does write a hell of a lot of songs, such as his new album Escapology, and a lot of his old albums, he wrote the songs for near enough all of them.

I agree he shouldn't play Bond but Robbie Williams isn't a scouser I think I seen the other day that he is from stoke.

This is the best discription of the many names for Brosnan replacement in 2007

He's not 5' 2". I'm sure about that.

And according to the link above, he's either 185 cm or 6' 1".

I can't see him playing Bond even though he's a good actor. I think he would make the film TO funny.

But he's not an actor! He's nothing but a self-opinionated loud mouth ... the day he sings the Bond theme or is cast in a Bond film is the day I burn my 007 collection. Oh yuss.

See my first post. IMO he looks good and he has lots of female fans. Sex-appeal was stated as number-one-criterion for a Bond actor in another thread. He has never acted in a film before but that doesn

In that case Martini, looking at your points for Williams as Bond, then I think that I would be suitable to play 007.

Hell, I'm gonna start a topic entitled "What exactly speaks against taxman2001 being 007?" ...

If you have hundreds of female fans who scream when you appear and would sleep with you at once, if you can entertain an audience for some hours and if the People magazin and some others elected you as the sexiest man alive, go for it! :)

Hang on ...

* hundreds of female fans who scream when you appear and would sleep with you at once? I certainly do have - but don't tell them I getting married or it may break their hearts ...
* if you can entertain an audience for some hours - have you ever tried to complete a Self-Assessment tax return? But seriously folks like Robbie Williams I'm a karaoke singer too so I think that's another big old tick
* and if the People magazine and some others elected you as the sexiest man alive - does my in house magazine count? I think it does!

This is brilliant. Where do I sign up for the role? My old college drama teacher will be most pleased - she taught the next 007!

Anyone have a contact number for EON?

Oh God! I could also sing the theme song too ...

:)
