Daniel Craig may have been the longest-serving James Bond actor in history but, according to bookies, he’s not the most desirable. The nation has spoken and deemed Pierce Brosnan the most desired 007 of all time based on a few factors like social media popularity, attractiveness and even facial composition according to research conducted by Betway . Of course, Brosnan, 71, is one of the most recognisable Bonds of modern times having starred in four blockbuster movies in the franchise between 1995 and 2002.
His final instalment, Die Another Day, grossed a staggering $431million (£324million) at the box office. Even with Craig’s lengthy tenure as Bond – 15 years, to be precise – Brosnan still notches up an impressive annual search volume of almost three million and an attractiveness rating of eight out of 10. Brosnan’s social media presence is also hot property, boosting his attractiveness rating with 2.
1million followers. His selection of four Bond movies may not have the highest ratings of them all but they still score above average at 6.6/10 on IMDb.
Following behind as the second most desired Bond is the late Sir Sean Connery, who starred in a whopping seven movies for over 20 years. He boasts an attractiveness rating of 7.6/10 and, while his social media following pales in comparison to Brosnan’s, he still boasts 43,000 fans across platforms.
His iconic films, which include Goldfinger and From Russia With Love, have an average star rating of 7/10. Alas, Craig .
