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 Rome wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Terence Hill become the Seventh James Bond?

Hill’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Crime Busters (1977), My Name is Nobody (1973) and They Call Me Trinity (1970). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Hill now is – what next?

Three reasons Terence Hill would be good for the James Bond franchise

  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Hill.
  3. It would give Terence Hill a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
