“Sparkles. Double-Oh Sparkles.”
This is one of the funniest stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a while. That’s the way it’s been with so many Twihard stories lately though – remember the story about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart having sex “seven times a day” allegedly? That was a great one. And much like that story, this one seems to be written by a teenage Twihard who doesn’t understand anything about anything. OK! Mag (via HL) claims that Daniel Craig (!!!) is trying to convince producers that Robert Pattinson should take over the role of James Bond when Daniel is done. Think about that. SPARKLES as James Bond. As the suave lady-seducer with a license to kill. Yeah. And that’s not all! Kristen Stewart wants to be a lip-biting, eye-rolling, sullen Bond Girl. Seriously.
Robert Pattinson‘s career is going from strong — could he be leaving behind his vampire ways to become a suave international spy? The current James Bond star Daniel Craig is singing Rob’s acting praises, and according to a new report, he told Rob that he would “make a brilliant Bond.”
Well, we know Rob looks good in a tuxedo! This could be a great career move for him, and funnily enough, Daniel previously said that Rob’s girlfriend and former co-star, Kristen Stewart, would “make a great Bond girl.”
Daniel is lining up Rob as his replacement, as he plans to hang up his spy tools in the near future in order to start a family with his wife Rachel Weisz.
“Daniel told Rob he’d make a brilliant Bond and would like to see a young talented British actor take on the role,” a source tells OK! ”Daniel’s signed on for two more Bond movies but is convinced he’ll do no more — for one thing, he hopes to start a family with Rachel soon and wants to focus on that.”
And apparently Rob is flattered! ”He’s a monumental fan of Daniel’s and told him so, but he was completely taken aback when the compliments were returned,” says the source. And it looks like Daniel isn’t just impressed with Rob’s onscreen presence.
“Daniel really admires how Robert has handled the intense scrutiny of his personal life — he and Rachel are obsessively private,” says the source. “He really felt for Rob when Kristen Stewart’s cheating played out in the media. To go through that, but also maintain a level of professionalism and carry on working, shows amazing strength of character.”
It looks like Rob will go for the part! In the summer of 2012, Rob revealed in an interview that he would be up for playing the iconic English spy. ”Yeah, I’d definitely go for Bond,” said Rob. And, Kristen has expressed interest in being a Bond girl! When asked if she would like to be one, Kristen said, “As long as I get to have a gun, yes, hell yeah!”
We could laugh and laugh and refuse to take this seriously, but you know there are people out there who DO take it seriously and who honestly think that Robert Pattinson should play one of the most iconic characters of the past century. Here’s a real question: do you think Robert actually thinks he has a shot at the role? I don’t. I think Rob is smart enough to realize that while teen girls (and their moms) love him, he still has a lot of work to do to build a career and learn his craft. I think Rob’s goal is to simply keep working and to work on interesting projects, and all of this “he should play Christian Grey, he should play James Bond!” stuff is just noise. As for Kristen playing a Bond Girl… well, Denise Richards did it. So… if we’re setting the bar there…?

Robert Pattinson is much more handsome than Daniel Craig, and he wears suits better than anyone in HW. His acting skills or his sparkly image can be a problem, but not his looks. Sorry.

I still think his looks are up for debate.
It may be a YMMV thing, but personally, I much prefer Daniel Craig over Shovelface.

Deidra,
Robert Pattinson has big bug eyes, a bent nose, flat face and a skinny fat body with big hips. I don’t find anything attractive about him. Boy is fugly. Daniel Craig has a body that just won’t quit, amazing eyes, smoking lips and a natural charisma. Craig in a tux makes Pattinson look like a try hard. I will take Daniel any day, hour, minute, second over bug eyed boy. Pattinson is a nice guy but beyond that I don’t get the attraction. It’s like mass brainwashing trying to sell this guy as attractive.

OK, tastes differ. But in the last Bond movie Daniel Craig looks a little bit old – with his wrinkly face and grey hair. He has a trained body but with the signs of aging.
As for Robert – he’s lanky and charming, he’ll look mature and manly in a few years, and with some training – he can be spot-on.

I find both Robert Pattinson and Daniel Craig to be very un attractive. Only thing Daniel has over Robert is his acting.

Looks are subjective, but he’s not a worldwide panty creamer because he’s ugly. And he would obviously not go the Craig route, which is more threatening and virile. He’d be more in the Pierce Brosnan vein of pretty and glamorous.

Deidra: Daniel Craig getting older was sort of a sub plot in the movie. And no one, and I mean no one, would believe Robert Pattinson as a spy.
Pattinson’s problem is that he’s played one huge role, and he’ll be typecast for it.

Can I ask you guys a question? Has Robert Pattinson gotten less hot over the years? Even unattractive. I remember seeing bits of him in Twilight and remember thinking DAAAANG, he’s fine. Gorgeous eyes, very brooding. Now I see pics of him and he looks like a pale frog with absolutely ZERO appeal. What happened?? I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity. Am I the only one?

I see you have been reading Lainey gossip again for that is her description of Rob since she hates him and loves Kristen. Rob Pattinson would make a good James Bond in a couple of years. He is tall, British, very handsome with a sexy body and has a tremendous fan base. If you don’t like him, then why are you commenting…just go on to someone else. Since he got more comments than anyone else, I can assume that a lot of people think of him. Bring on the Bond, he would be perfect.

“What about amazing,grey eyes,thick hair and eyebrows,chiselled jawline,Greek god profile,tall and lean body?”
Mil,
Girlfriend I don’t know what your smoking but I don’t see any Greek god profile. Lol Greek god profile really? I’ve seen a lot of Greek art never seen any of them looking as ugly like Pattinson. All I see when I look at him are bug eyes, ugly bent nose, flat ugly face and scary caterpillar eyebrows. I don’t see any chiseled jaw, he has a weird short jaw. As for those ugly thick caterpillar eyebrows I would pluck those suckers the first chance I got. Them things are nasty.
I don’t see the same things you Pattinson Twihards see. I didn’t drink the same Summit Studios kool-aide saying he is the most beautiful man in the world you all drank. He is not a universally handsome guy like a George Clooney type. He is a YMMV type that some people like but many others don’t. Yes he is tall but his pale skinny fat body is not universally attractive either. He is neither skinny nor built just lumpy which is not a good thing for someone so young. He will be getting fat soon if he doesn’t start working out.
As for anyone crazy enough to think he can pull a suave suducing type please watch his Bel Ami movie. You will laugh yourself silly he is so bad. So god awful. I think he is a nice guy but a bad actor.

@deidra Rob is 26-27 years old. he really isnt very young so i think if he had any acting talent it would have materialized by now. There are actors younger than him that does wonderful work like Logan Lehman and his contemporaries like garrett hedlund and andrew gafield are on a much more accomplished level. He seems a nice guy but i dont rate his acting or his looks.

What is so special abt Garrett Hedlund’s career comparing to Rob’s? Moderate success of Tron: Legacy and a few obscure roles in small budgeted films. And he’s never been so pressed and scrutinized by fans and mass media as Rob is. Robert has always been limited by the Saga to be considered a serious actor or to have the opportunities to take on diverse roles. Now as TW disappears he’ll have the chance – so let’s wait and see.
P.S. I chose Garrett ’cause I don’t know much abt the others you mentioned.

Some of us prefer the current Bond characteristics which some of us believe Rob P does not to us embody. Maybe when he gets older he might have a shot at it, but right now I personally think he’s hit a bit of an awkward phase that I hope he grows out of. I didn’t particularly care for Twilight (the only one I saw because I didn’t know better att) but I atleast thought he was gorgeous in it. Now not so much.
That said, your preferences would make it a different movie altogether. There’s room for it in the movie world, but no reason to kill the Bond franchise over it.

I don’t like gingers at all BUT I am 100% supportive of this idea. Bond doesn’t have to be classically handsome – for me only Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were gorgeous.
I love Daniel Craig but I was not thrilled when they cast him. However, I learned to love him. I can see Damien Lewis in that mold. Not what *I* see as hot but manly, classy, intelligent and quintessentially British.
I could not learn to love Pattinson. I hated him when they cast him as Cedric in the HP movies. He was not the hottie in the book. I have never seen nor do I plan to see a Twilight movie, I couldn’t even get through the first book but from what I did read, he was not the drop, dead mesmerizingly gorgeous Edward either.

I actually don’t hate the idea because as a person, I like Rob and he’d bring a great sense of humour to the role. I’m in no way a Twihard but of all the cast (except Billy Burke and Nikki Reed) I do feel that if he works on his acting, he could actually leave the stigma of Twilight behind him. (And to be perfectly honest, yes they’re bad films but by no means the worst ever – I’ve seen ‘The Room’
). So…I dunno. I hate it more if the walking block of wood that is Lautner were being toted as the new Bond. (As for KS as a Bond girl – meh. But then they’re usually ‘meh’ anyway.)

I KNOW I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I don’t think he would be terrible (and please keep in mind I’m big bond fan, I have all the old movies and I have all the books and my name Mayday is from A View to a Kill. I take my Bond seriously)
I DO think he is far to young presently however, they would need to wait at least 7-10 years and in that amount of time, he may be able to shake off Twilight and Kristen Stewart. He’s got a lot of movies coming down the pipe and I think we are gonna see what he is made of over the next few years.
I’m not saying it’s the best idea ever – he is definitely not ready presently – but I wouldn’t rule it out either.
Just as an example, I never would have though DiCaprio could have pulled off many off the roles he has ended up doing after seeing him in Titanic (which though I like both him and kate, I thought that movie was awful).

No flames (making me be nice lol)! In all seriousness, I kinda agree with you. Give him a good 10 yrs and we’ll see. Also, in his defense, he is a much better actor in his natural accent. He just doesn’t seem to be taking any Brit roles so far. *shrug*
Realistically, Craig still has 2 movies left and who knows what will happen by the time those are done. There could be a completely new as yet unheard of guy coming up who would fit much better.
This is a pretty unbelievable story all around.

I will not disagree with you. I am not in favor of the idea now, but I have come to like all the Bonds. I go to 007 movies for the character and not the actor playing him. I am more upset with a bad story interpretation than the acting.

That said, I would like to put forth my suggestion of Chiwetel Ejiofor as Bond. No idea if he would do it.

@Mia, Movies and movie star preferences are very cyclical. Sometimes big burly masculine types are the ideal and sometimes it is more lean and elegant, depends on the times. AFter Daniel Craig, they may choose to go back to a more humorous Pierce Brosnan-ish type. Timothy Dalton as Bond was Daniel Craig-ish, and he was not successful at all. So you never know. Regardless, I don’t see Rob in this role anytime soon, if at all.

Pattz has something unique about him, it’s hard to mistake him for somebody else. But his looks have been deteriorating dramatically recently (although his suits are pretty) — I dunno he always looks high as a kite…
Anyway, he either needs to learn acting or find another niche in entertainment. He is a bright kid, he could come up with something interesting.
BTW, someone definitely asked him a question about James Bond-ery 3-4 years ago – and if my memory serves me, he said that it would have been his dream role but that it would take time.
On a separate note, I think Craig is shopping for a replacement himself – for whatever reasons…

I think the change (or deterioration) in his look is quite deliberate, he doesn’t want to be the “pretty boy”. He has already done the romantic heart throb, and now wants to take his career into more complex characters. Lose the pretty to be taken more seriously?

No one in their mid-20s- Rob inc- should ever be cast as JB. Agreed with other posters- who knows in ten years? As far as KS goes- everyone has a relationship where at some pt you go ” what was I thinking???”- this is ( hopefully was) his.

Rob is not interested in doing Bond at all, at least not now. He would be the first to admit he needs an impressive resume and proven athletic skills to show he is ready for it. Right now his goal seems to be to get some credibility as an actor by working with good directors. He never sounded like he is gagging for this role. Why the hate?

Le Kellan Lutz yes!

Once upon a time I was completely Kellan Lutz’d, dude was a fixture on my HitList. I’m so ashamed,
For realz though I’d take Kellan Lutz and his Kellan Lutzness as Bond over Sparkles any day.

Hell no, Idris Elba all the way. I think Pattinson is okay, but jeez there is some stanning on here…He’s in no way a suitable fit for Bond. Not a slam on him, but Bond is supposed to be über masculine. Actors like Andrew Garfield, Pattinson, even Jude Law don’t have that super masculine body type, voice, etc.

Sounds like Mr. Craig has a great sense of humor and would have been gracious with his response to anyone who had been suggested as 007. This time, it happened to be Rob.
As for Sparkles playing the spy? Eh, maybe in 15 or 20 years, when he’s got some life (both on and off screen) under his belt. Bond was very worldly and jaded on many levels, and even in five years, Rob won’t have that. Build some action movie cred, then come back and we’ll talk.

Sparkles?! Well, James Bond is already drinking Whinekin instead of “shaken, not stirred” martinis so the brand has already been considerably diluted.

This guy makes Roger Moore look macho. So that’s a N-O from me.

Rob P. ain’t got it!! He can do the tween Bond movie lol. The black British actor Colin Salmon would have been great. He was considered years ago. That’s dead now. I’m still up in the air about Idris Elba. He’s certainly a ladykiller. You need to be a smart, cheeky ladykiller capable of some vulnerability. I don’t want to see the Fass tied down to one role but he would be perfect. He’s already slaying women left and right. Go to YT and check out his Azazeal charactor from Hex (Google Hex: S01E04 – Possession. Cazazeal First Kiss) mixed with Magneto…((Explosions))!!! It’s not just about looks. You have to have confidence and sex appeal. They showcase all the elements in In Like Flint…just not so campy.

Richard Armitage. Drag his fineness and hotness out of those stupid Hobbit prequels and give him a license to kill…me.

Sounds like a good idea to wrap the franchise around a lamppost.

This report would be far more credible if they made Craig sound much more pissy. They don’t even try to make it sound Craig-ish.

The last Twilight movie is not on cable yet. Why the hate for Rob today? He is a good guy and he may be the perfect James Bond in a couple of years.

No, 1000x no. If they were replacing Craig now, I would vote for Idris Elba or Richard Armitage. If we are talking 10 years down the road, my vote would be Game of Thrones Richard Madden.
Pattison, just does not or never will scream Bond to me.

Even if Daniel Craig plans on stepping down as Bond (which I doubt) he would not want Rob Pattison filling in his shoes unless it was just a joke.

Hmmm, I don’t know any of the Twilight films, but it is far from laughable that this actor would be a candidate for Bond down the road. Why not? Daniel Craig is no great actor really himself. Pattinson is just as good in my opinion.
It does sound like a made up story though cause I do not think the current actor’s views or preferred actor as Bond really has any weight on who will have the chance to audition.

If Craig Daniel with his limited acting chops did it, Sparkles can do it.

Rob is the only young actor around now that would make a suitable Bond. The only reason I don’t see it happening is because of his age. He is way too young. Bond needs a little more seasoning. In 10 years, Robert Pattinson would make an obvious Bond.

LOL I don’t think so, Rob is a weird one, sometimes he looks hot and sometimes he looks like shit, and I can see him in a number of roles but not Bond, sorry.
