Could make a good Bond

yes if bond was a 20 something adolescent....

I was saying same , Q got a younger make over and a new bond instead of competing with Craig should be a whole new start ,and would get a long run from him.i said he has a working class way to him more modern street tough and a cheeky cocky attitude .. He scrubs up ok in a suit to.hes a good actor and it would push him into blockbuster leading man status

I was thinking that too----if the Bond producers can't absolutely nail down Idris Elba for the role, maybe O'Connell could pull it off. Only thing is, he's still too young for the role---seems like the folks who make Bond films prefer to cast dudes well into their 30s and '40s for the role. But, yeah, he might make a good Bond, with some more experience under his belt by then.

Not at all. Considering Craig may be doing one more movie, The franchise will get rebooted between 2020-2022. He'd be already pushing by that time, which is a great age to start a new Bond franchise.
