I am worried that I have now become a Bond Groupie

[erastes]

Thanks to gehayi for this piece of goss... I know there are at least 2 people on my flist who will be jumping up and down about this!

"John Gets Bond Gig

"It's a long way from kids' telly to Tinseltown, but Doctor Who and Torchwood star John Barrowman, 39, looks set to make the journey. He may have started out on children's show Live and Kicking back in the 90s, but I can reveal that John is about to prove a hit in Hollywood, having bagged a job presenting on E! Entertainment and signing up to front its coverage of the forthcoming Bafta Awards.

"Even better, John's role as Captain Jack Harkness has brought him to the attention of the producers of the next James Bond movie. In fact, they want to cast the gay actor as a baddie who tries to seduce the famous spy, played by Daniel Craig. A mole tells me, "He is ideal and we have had dicussions about it. Daniel is up for it, too!" Watch this space...

"-  New! Magazine - Issue 199"

Not inconsiderable squee....   I can't believe that I'm actually looking forward to a Bond Film.

There have got to be bad Bond jokes I could tell, but it's too early. I shall go away and think of a good Bond Villain name for John.....

This makes me so, so happy. Just...think of Daniel Craig, with John Barrowman, and well..lose all ability to form coherent thoughts. *ponders*

I wonder if they will give him a 'gay' name? Bond writers are not known for their subtlety. *g*

In keeping with all of the names of the Bond girls who have seduced or attempted to seduce James over the years--Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Plenty O'Toole, Xenia Onatopp, "Peaceful Fountains of Desire"--I think that the only logical name for Barrowman's character would be Dick Biggerstaff.

Only the actor who plays Oliver Wood in the HP movies might not like that.

Oooh that would be *awesome*! That's a very cool piece of goss!

Tries to? Only tries to?? Well surely he has to succeed as well! We demand that!

And sure as hell Daniel is up to it, after all he already suggested that Bond should have it going on with men as well!

I can hardly wait... and I definitely second "Dick Biggerstaff" as John's Bond name.

I take a deep, deep breath here.

Barrowman and Craig together? In a Bond movie? Probably snogging?

Doesn't this come under the heading of "too good to be true"?

Even just the possibility (and attendant mental images) makes my day. Thanks for posting this!

Oh, yes. You have NO IDEA how I was jumping up and down about that when I heard. I actually think I might have broken something keyboard smashing. :-p

I've gotten bored with Bond, but...damn, I'd even hire a babysitter to see that!

John Barrowman gets to seduce Daniel Craig! SQUEE!!!

And "Daniel is up for it, too! [childishly giggles]

SQUEE!!!

[julesjones]

You know, I think this is going to cause more damp seat cushions than any Hollywood announcement since the one about Sean Connery playing Indiana Jones' father in the third film. :-)

You were the first person I thought of!!!

I had a few ideas.

Ivor Biggin
Lars Perfect
Homer Sexual!

*giggles like i'm 12*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

How about Ivor Biggerstaff?

Of course Bart had a few good ones, Seymour Butts, Homer Sexual, Oliver Klozoff, Mike Rotch, Hugh Jass....

I can't believe that I'm looking forward to a Bond...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I hope they even get the character in the film, with a world-wide audience and mindful of the american market, I hpe they don't cave in and decide not to do it.

rwday said this morning that there's no way that Bond is not bi-sexual - or even if he's not, he'd sleep with anyone specially if he was on a mission!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

it certainly warmed me up on a very cold day!

*G*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I don't think that the film-makers know just how popular this is going to be....

*drools*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the latest Bond? I think Craig is wonderful!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

and looking at your icon - I totally don't blame him.

*licks*

Re: Bond Barrowman

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I know.

*thud*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*very firm nodding of the head*

The producers will sit back in amazement as more women than men go to the next one....

Not inconsiderable squee.... I can't believe that I'm actually looking forward to a Bond Film.

I second that. The man is totally gorgeous and the moment he snogged Christopher Eccleston still lives vividly in my mind as one of the top moments of the entire first series of Dr. Who.

Here's hoping . . . .

Umm, I'll be in my bunk now.

[quatorze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, it's all still a very big IF - but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. Who knows, miracles just might happen.

And I quite agree, even if Bond weren't at all that way inclined, he wouldn't balk at sleeping with a guy if it is necessary to make progress on a mission!
