13 James Bond Stars Who Are Legitimately Tough (And 12 Who Are Only Tough Onscreen)

Every movie fits in as many audacious setpieces, chase scenes, and fistfights as possible. So far six actors have played the world’s most indefatigable secret agent, and he’s faced off against dozens of imposing henchmen and femme fatales. The series has employed some of toughest men and women in the history of film. The thing is though, only some of them were in front of the camera. The others were stunt doubles.</p><p>Many of the actors, even some of the Bonds themselves, came up as athletes and were well suited to perform some crazy stunts on screen. Others were perfectly content to stand back and watch as lookalikes threw themselves out of airplanes. And by no means are we judging them; the ability to look tough on film doesn’t have to go hand in hand with being tough in real life.</p><p>This is a list of performers first and foremost, and if someone’s acting is so believable that you accept them as an action star even if that’s nothing close to their real personality, that’s just as impressive in its own way.</p><p>Let’s be real, it takes a certain amount of baseline toughness just to be in an action movie. This is all relative, if we label someone “Not Tough” it’s (almost) always because the actor is simply too nice to be intimidating.</p><p>With all that in mind, let’s take at <strong>13 James Bond Stars Who Are Legitimately Tough (And 12 Who Are Only Tough Onscreen).</strong></p> <strong>Click to continue reading <a href="https://ift.tt/2Mop7dm James Bond Stars Who Are Legitimately Tough (And 12 Who Are Only Tough Onscreen)</a></strong><br /><br /> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ift.tt/2Mop7dm James Bond Stars Who Are Legitimately Tough (And 12 Who Are Only Tough Onscreen)</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ift.tt/2KVjJNT>
