Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to Los Angeles wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Ian Somerhalder become the Seventh James Bond?
Somerhalder’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017), Lost (2004-2010) and Life as a House (2001). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Somerhalder now is – what next?

- It would give Ian Somerhalder a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
