10 Actors Who Could Be The Next James Bond

9. Jack O'Connell

Not so very long ago Jack O'Connell was sleeping rough in London so he could afford to attend auditions. Now though, and partly thanks to Angelina Jolie of all people, he's suddenly become Hollywood real estate and shacking up with Cara Delevingne.

At just 24 years of age he's still far too young to be considered an obvious successor to Daniel Craig, but that's under the assumption that the filmmakers see the next Bond as someone who'll just slip easily into the set up character.

But when Craig hangs up his Walther (still probably not until sometime in 2018, remember), it might be time for another aspiring actor to reinvent the role, and a diamond-in-the-rough style Bond emerging from his war service and moving into the murky world of international espionage would be a smart way to do that.

Consensus already is that O'Connell is an incredible talent, and if a new direction for Bond is what's required then there could be few as well qualified to do it.
