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 Paris wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Christian Clavier become the Seventh James Bond?
Clavier’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in With Open Arms (2017), Serial (Bad) Weddings (2014) and Les Profs (2013). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Clavier now is – what next?
Three reasons Christian Clavier would be good for the James Bond franchise

- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Clavier.
- It would give Christian Clavier a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
