Tom Holland would be a terrible Bond. He is not on the list.

He's not a good actor. Can you watch any scene with him and not think, "That's Tom Holland."

Listen to a clip of Sean Connery playing a Spaniard in Highlander.

I don't know if it makes it better or worse, but he's actually playing an Egyptian pretending to be a Spaniard.

And ancient Egyptian could sound exactly like English with a strong mild Scottish accent, we have no way of knowing.

And a French guy who literally couldn't speak English playing a Scotsman.

God, I love that movie.

Yeah but that was so bad it was good. Tom Holland is just always Tom Holland is the guys point. Him being Bond would be a horrible choice, and I think Tom Holland would agree with that statement based on every interview I've seen of him. I think he has enough self awareness to know being Bond isn't for him

True, but he was Sean fucking Connery and Tom Holland isn't.

u/Tega02 13h ago

Terrible fucking lie. His only problem is Spidey comes to mind when you see him. He's a great actor

u/RhubarbLiqueur 14h ago

Yes, I can. I've seen The Devil All the Time.

Beat me to it. Its basically just opportunity and direction that let people imagine that Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland weren't excellent and talented performers.

u/Cpt_kaleidoscope 14h ago

He was really good in the devil all the time. Not the best film ever but his performance was solid.

u/zeelbeno 14h ago

Yeah I decide how good an actor is based on the makeup department.

If i can name the actor or actress without looking it up then it's immediately a crap performance.

Thank you! People were loving his role in the Odyssey and I was like — why? Everyone knows that’s tom holland. He’s done nothing to make the character his own except play dress up.

u/AnswerGrand1878 12h ago

Everytime I read comments that make these factual statements about famous people I wonder what the actual qualification to make that statement is. Since the statement isn't "I don't like him" but "he is not a good actor" surely there must be some experience and reasoning behind it?

It was very jarring at the movies watching the spider man ads, and then Spiderman was in the Oddyssey....

u/Present_Error_6256 8h ago

I thought he was pretty good in the Odyssey, but I see your point.
