" In an interview with Hull Daily Mail, Liam Neeson explained that he could have had a shot at playing James Bond in Golden Eye. Natasha Richardson, his wife-to-be at the time, gave him an ultimatum: Bond or marriage. He chose marriage. (Cue synchronized aww.) This got us thinking, what other hunky men could have filled the International Man of Mystery&amp;#039;s shoes? Or tuxedo, rather.   We still think that if Liam Neeson gets a future offer for Bond, he should take it.    Producer, singer, rapper, DJ, and actor\u2026 Yep, Idris Elba&amp;#039;s got all the lady-winning bases covered.     Best known for his villainous role in Thor and The Avengers, it&amp;#039;s time for Tom Hiddleston to switch over from the dark side and be a good guy for once.    Daniel Day-Lewis is already the strong, silent type, plus he has lots of old-world charm going for him.    After appearing in action movies like Salt, American Gangster, Children of Men, and Inside Man, Chiwetel Ejiofor could easily fulfill 007&amp;#039;s duties.     After playing Bard the Bowman in The Hobbit, Luke Evans could definitely incorporate some crossbow action into a Bond-style fight scene.     London native Benedict Cumberbatch not only has British charm on his side, but anyone who can keep up with playing the infamous Sherlock Holmes can certainly bring the International Man of Mystery to life.
