    "Turned down $68M"

    I refuse to believe that...

    Its £68million, that works out to about $100million.

    Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... How the ? ? I'd have them write the ? where I didn't do stunts and take the check. This ? is Toby McGuire stupid: "I don't want to be typecast!" Who the ? can name a Daniel Craig appearance besides side piece in Tomb Raider? I forgot that until the OP. Typecast as a dude who can ? your ? after murdering you, shoot down helicopters at night with a PP9, and drive the dopest cars while having an apartment that looks like a freshman's dorm room--the nerve!

    ? outta here.

    I'm not saying it's as stupid as Dave Chappelle's "They didn't give me any help on how to run things, and this lighting guy laughed at me during the skit--and I felt like I was a joke, so I left because a black man can't be funny without wearing a dress" excuse to be responsibility free... but it's "hard on my body" is that stupid when the company is giving you all kinds of control.

    Watch Defience, decent movie. Hes also in The Golden Compas, The Girl with the Dragon tattoo and some more historical things. Him in Tomb Raider was one of the few things my mom liked about that movie lol, shes actually big fan but never saw his version of James Bond

    Tom Hiddleton would have to put on a good 10 lbs I think to be convincing in the role. I guess if he becomes Bond they're going to go with a more "brain than brawn" kind of James Bond. It'd be a good counter to Craig's Bond. I think Craig's was more closer to the Bond in the books tho.

    I'm not mad at whatever they choose, Tom Hiddleton from his interviews, seems like a cool down to Earth guy.

    Tom Hiddleston is a great actor, and yeah, in interviews he seems like a cool bloke. He was in a recent series called The Night Manager which was popular in the UK which started the calls for him being the new Bond. I wouldn't mind him being chosen.

    Of course I'd be rooting for Idris Elba though but he's already about the same age as Daniel Craig and all the racist white people would be having aneurysms over him being chosen.

    Layer Cake is what swayed the Bond vote for him at the time. People that hadn't watched that film at the time when he got announced as the new Bond had a fit, people that had seen Layer Cake knew he was a great choice.

    it's hard on his body like a running back at the end of his career it's not like he can't make that money up doing other movies he got knee problems etc what the sense of having all that money and u can't walk

    Again, stuntmen. They made Furious 7 with Paul Walker dead. Blade 3 consists of 10% Wesley Snipes. For $100 million, do some work outs and get your abs up. Tell them to hire someone to run. You really think they're sitting there like, "Yo, if you don't do the stunts, you're not getting this dough."

    Nope.

    True. I did kind of like that movie he did with Morgan Freeman not to long ago.

    Any info on why his career fell off?

    GOAT show... first two seasons were directed by Steven Soderbergh. Very visceral

    Night Manager was trash. Just finished it. Not buying Hiddleston as 007 at all.

    Dude turned himself into the greatest Bond. I don't see this dude getting out of the shadow of James Bond. More power to him but he might regret this move

    This isn't true at all. He might be third best maybe. He was part of 2 of the better films in casino royale and skyfall (the other 2 were complete trash) but he isn't the greatest bond. Foh. He's not ? with Sean Connery and Roger Moore. You can argue Brosnan was better as well.

    Licence to ? is top 10 but Dalton himself wasn't that special especially on the first movie he did as bond. Can't remember the name but it was trash. Script was just more serious and dark which suited his struggle face. He was the daniel craig version of james bond before daniel craig tho since it was the first dark bond movie so I rate him for that but casino royale and skyfall are top 5-6 bond films so I'd say Craig was the better bond. Dalton was legit the blueprint for the last 4 films tho. Also like Craig did all his stunts.

    He was a much rougher Bond, and I enjoyed that about his rendition of the character.

    too bad Spectre and Quantum of Solace weren't great

    I liked spectre all y'all shut up!
