the oldest actor to be cast as bond was 45 when he first played him, and portrayed him for the most number of films out of any actor to have ever played bond, up until he was 57. so i wouldn’t say he’s too old to play bond at all, he’d only be slightly above the average age a bond actor is when they play him for the first time (which is 39)

He's my no. 1 pick for the next Bond. Is he too old to play Bond for 5 movies? Maybe, but I say just make 2 or 3 incredible movies and then move on to Aaron Taylor Johnson or someone else as a younger Bond just starting out.

James Bond is one of those characters that needs maturity for the role. With his workout schedule he could be bond until he is 55. Hair dye and the gym are the fountain of youth.

Daniel Craig was 38 when he first cast as Bond, Henry is 40 and actually looks much younger than his age. He would make a great Bond or maybe a Bond Villain.

Cavill could easily do a fantastic trilogy. Well written, with a beginning and end, self contained, in a unique era - it could be something really special.

In the book Moon Raker, Bond is 37 but he's been in Mi6 as a 00 Agent for a few years already. So depending on when the next Bond is set in his career, an actor able to currently pass as someone in the mid-30s would be the direction to go, imo.

The actors that played Archie and Edith Bunker were like only 45-47 when they first started the TV show "All in the Family". I used to think they were 65 or 75 easy. And I thought the son-in-law Mike the Meathead was a 40 year old, but he was really only 24, 25.

I mean it depends on what the story of the next Bond is, which I don’t think we even know. If the story centers around a seasoned Bond that’s been around for a bit, then I think Henry would be a great choice. If they’re going to “Batman Begins” it, then sure, shoot for someone w bit younger.

Look at the cast of Grease, most of the actors were in their 20s and they were playing high school students. Stockard Channing was 28.

Well the boss of Bond Barbara Broccoli has said that they want someone 30 to 40 so Henry could still have a shout but I'd pick Theo James if you've seen The Gentleman (TV Series) by Guy Ritchie you'll know want I mean.

Jim Backus who played Thurston Howell III, as well as Mr. Magoo was 42-years-old when he played James Dean's father in Rebel Without A Cause, so he always appeared a bit older than his actual age.

Maybe they should do a one off with Henry or a different iteration of James Bond. People forget Sean Connery and if I'm not mistaken Roger Moore both had James Bond movies out the same year or something like that. Both Sean and Roger played the character differently.

John was right Denver was in his 29-30 of age when he started Gilligan's Ray added an extra decade 😅

More like too recognizable

Here’s the thing, I think people are overthinking the age thing way too much when it comes to Bond, mathematically speaking with the ages of these actors and the rate that these Bond movies come out unless you’re willing to be flexible you’re looking at an average of these actors only getting to do like 3 movies before the internet proclaims that they’re too old for the part, you guys are being way too picky and restricting yourselves way too much, what it really comes down to is is said actor still physically capable of being Bond? If they can still fight, do some stunts (Which by the way Bond never really does *SUPER* extravagant/physically demanding stunts anyways, this is James Bond guys, not Kingsman) etc. then for all intents and purposes keep them, and as of now Henry Cavill isn’t showing any signs of old age, the dude just had 2 spy movies this year that both show he’s not slowing down in his age anytime soon, and just because it’s a high number of years in which he plays the part doesn’t mean there’s gonna be a shit ton of movies, Daniel Craig played Bond for 15 years but only made 5 movies, so why are we over here acting like the next Bond needs to make like 12 movies? And so I think even if he’s a bit older as long as he’s still physically capable of playing the part it doesn’t matter, cause like with any of the Bond actors it’s not like any of them need to make a decade’s worth of movies during their run, they all have a pretty small number of movies, people just think they’re bigger because of how long they were *in the role*
