Lets Get Skinny

Welcome to “The Skinny” section of the blog! Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk pop culture, fashion, and lifestyle. This week, we are going to talk about the candidates to be the new James Bond. Currently, your choices are Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor, and an undisclosed mystery actor (queue the woo’s), but who really would be the best James Bond? I might be biased on this topic, seeing as though Callum Turner is my celebrity crush I obviously am rooting for him, but are the other actors a better choice? Let’s discuss Jack Lowden. Out of everyone else, he is the outlier; with films that were not hits at the box office, he is, in a sense, “new” to the magnitude the James Bond dynasty carries. He will be playing Mr. Darcy in Netflix’s new six-part adaptation of Pride and Prejudice ( my favorite movie), so the winds might turn in his favor; we shall find out soon enough. The next candidate is Josh O’Connor; he was brought into my circle of cute men with accents after he starred in the smash hit movie “Challenger” with Zendaya and Mike Faist. He seems like a great candidate, but in my eyes he doesn’t have the “edge” that James Bond is known for. Don’t get me wrong, he is an amazing actor, but is he Mr. Bond material? Not much is known about who the mystery actor could be; the rumor mill isn’t running either, so I don’t have much to say about it other than and this might be a hot take- I don’t want it to be Jacob Elordi. With that being said, it brings me to the last but certainly not least James Bond candidate. The one and only Callum Turner. He has the looks, he has the style, he has the accent; I mean, what else can I say? He is used to playing in movies where circumstances are not ideal and is always being put to the test but prevails against all odds; no one wants to see a James Bond who doesn’t succeed, but enough with my opinions; who do you think should be the next James Bond?
