With HiddleSwift reportedly over, one wonders whether a) he was told to kick her into touch or lose the part, or b) he wanted to have clear space to concentrate on his new role?
My Mrs informs me she dumped him if the Dailyfail is to be believed!!
With Hiddleswift supposedly over, CW publicly discussing his dissatisfaction with his portrayal of Blofeld, and DC participating in "Beyond Bond" with Nicholas Schmidle at The New Yorker Festival next month, surely September will be the month we get some solid news. Even if its just a snippet.

They prob have not even separated lol
yes, because she want less publicity... 8-)
She was questioning his motives for wanting to be seen with her all the time in the press. Perhaps he saw it as an opportunity to raise his profile (Craig's brief fling with Sienna Miller springs to mind, before he got Bond) and TS was feeling she was arm candy. Apparently Tom asked her to appear at the Emmy's.
Most girls would love that...but it seems Taylor is independent, and doesn't need that type of publicity...good for her...but wasn't Tom told to cool it off with her anyway?
Anyway, whatever the reason, his profile has been raised by this. Showbiz in full swing.

Idris Elba would likely be a fairly good Bond, but he is too old (44 now, a little older than Moore when he started) and would be even older by the time Bond 25 kicked into production (assuming he isn't in Bond 26, a more likely scenario).
Agree with this. As fine an actor as Elba is he for me is too old to play Bond. He would be a good choice for a villan though.

Call me cynical but I have a feeling the whole relationship was based purely on publicity. Not surprised in the least it's over already.

If you care about the Hiddleston/Swift news you must be hurting for something.

One of my catchphrases is "Taylor Swift boring" to indicate just how incredibly uninteresting something is.
With Hiddleswift supposedly over, CW publicly discussing his dissatisfaction with his portrayal of Blofeld, and DC participating in "Beyond Bond" with Nicholas Schmidle at The New Yorker Festival next month, surely September will be the month we get some solid news. Even if its just a snippet.
Just saw High Rise. Hiddleston is terrific blah blah blah...but what struck me was what a terrific villain Jeremy Irons would make. Still physically fit enough and a commanding presence. He could be great. What really struck though was how good Luke Evans is. Probably too old now, and maybe a tad short (same height as Turner) but very powerful.

Luke Evans is 37 and listed as 6' tall. A little older and a little shorter than Hiddleston but not by a ton. I actually would have assumed taller but I guess his wiry build makes him appear taller on screen. I wouldn't be unhappy with Evans as Bond. He would definitely be convincing in the tough and ruthless department. He's got one of those faces that changes significantly with facial hair. Definitely looks more "Bond" without the bad goatee. Regarding Jeremy Irons, as far as I am concerned he has an open invitation for a role in a Bond film; he can be a villain, M, another agent (British or whatever else). In his younger days he would have made a good Bond.

Have seen an article about his coming out. Unfortunately that would probably rule him out if true as the world is probably not ready for an openly gay actor as Bond. It was his intensity and physicality that impressed in High Rise. He could be excellent.

Apparently, from what I just read Evans has been "out" for quite some time. I had no idea he was gay until reading the post in AJB. His being gay and playing Bond wouldn't be a problem for me but I guess EON might want to avoid that kind of controversy.

Yes the article I saw was from 2014. Not a problem for me, and if EON wanted to continue in radical and unexpected casting as Mendes suggested he could be just the chap. I think he could be very good indeed. He has the physicality of Craig but a nod to the more traditional look. The more I think about it the more I like the idea.

Babs would probably go with it. Fleming would be rolling in his grave.

This is all a very interesting discussion regarding Luke Evans and his sexual preferences relative to casting for the Bond role but has Evans been even rumored for the role?

Not as far as I know, it's just that I saw him in High Rise (with Hiddleston) and I thought he had something and mentioned it on here.
