Leave it up to a super spy to get married without anybody knowing about it.
Last week in a secret ceremony, current James Bond Daniel Craig tied the knot with actress Rachael Weisz. (Nice choice if I do say so myself.)
While I think that Daniel Craig is a decent James Bond, I don’t think he is the greatest James Bond. I know this may be controversial, especially to my movie-loving friends, but here is my list of the greatest portrayals of James Bond.
Side Trivia Note: Since Daniel Craig got married, you can impress your friends with this James Bond fact. The only James Bond movie where Bond takes a wife is ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” BUT….you can also amaze your friends by telling them that when going undercover, James Bond also got faux-married in “You Only Live Twice.”
Best movie James Bond actors:
#6 – George Lazenby – Mr. One and Done. While On Her Majesty’s Secret Service had some cool skiing action sequences, you never really got the feel for Bond.
#5 – Daniel Craig - I really didn’t like the choice of Craig over Clive Owen, but Craig is growing on me.
#4 – Sean Connery – I know. Purists will rake me over the coals for this low ranking. The fact is Connery as James Bond was not so much a ladies man as he was a sexist. I’m still a bit shocked watching Goldfinger and Dr. No these days.
#3 – Timothy Dalton – He’s an underrated James Bond, but I thought The Living Daylights and License To Kill were thrilling.
#2 – Roger Moore – Oh yeah. The first James Bond I was introduced to. He was smooth and satirical. He also fought Jaws (Richard Kiel,) who I got to interview once.
#1 – Pierce Brosnan – He fit a tux better than the rest. Brosnan was charming, calm, cool and collective on top of being silky and smooth. Do I have a man crush on him? Maybe.
