It's a miracle Bond doesn't have a limp and an eyepatch. Imagine a Bond movie series reboot, only based on the books and with perfect attention to detail, like the way The Godfather series matches the book, in the correct time period. After watching The Americans and Perry Mason, I'm completely convinced that this man is the actor to pull it off. Keri could play Viv in "The Spy Who Loved Me".

With how beaten up Craig's Bond got throughout his tenure, he pretty much did play him with a permanent limp. Barbara Broccoli definitely took Matthew Rhys's idea here.

Why do people get such obviously fake teeth, it looks a little ridiculous honestly, especially when the lower ones aren't also done. No offense, Matthew is great, but I couldn't stop staring at his teeth.
