007...

Morning guys, was on the web reading through google news when I saw this article. Just wanted to share it with you. Prof Rob Jenkins, of the University of Glasgow, and Prof Richard Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire, have employed a technique known as prototyping to produce a computer generated image of the perfect James Bond. In 1961 Fleming listed several Hollywood actors that he thought had the right facial characteristics to play Bond. Actors such as Cary Grant, David Niven, James Mason, Patrick McGoohan, Rex Harrison, Richard Burton and Stewart Granger were named by Ian Flemming as the the 'perfect' Bond. Looking at the picture, the 'guy' doesn't come close to any of the actors from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig who have played the suave spy through out the years. He looks more like Marlon Brando from the original Superman (1978) movie when he played Jor-El (Superman's biological father). Antah ah? what do you guys think?
