At 47 he'd be the oldest Bond ever even older than Moore when he started at age 45 (but he looked about 35).if he is in the running he's probably in the running to play the villain like Rami Malick was after he won the Oscar . The Bond role will go to some mid/late 30s guy (most likely none of the faves of past few years Cavill, Hardy, Hiddleston, Fassbender etc as all in their early/mid 40s now. any of those would've probably been Bond had Craig not come back for NTTD)
