I’m not the guy to be hurling myself out of helicopters, if indeed I ever was.”Īnd like Ian Fleming’s Bond, Le Carré’s characters are those of a bygone era-when surveillance meant boots on the ground, not just tracking someone’s phone. I can’t climb stairs without my knees popping. And I think John Le Carré’s characters more than those of Ian Fleming are haunted by moral ambivalence.”Īt least one critic has suggested that Laurie should play 007, a rumor that the actor says he’s flattered by but summarily dismissed: “I am not familiar with the mental health of this person, but that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. Pine is someone who’s beginning his experience as a field agent. Bond is a trained killer with a 00 license. “Those conversations will continue to happen,” he says. The Night Manager could easily be Hiddleston’s Bond audition tape, though the actor is quick to shut down rumors that he will inherit the role. Fans have been wondering who will inherit 007’s gun holster since Daniel Craig rather dramatically (and possibly jokingly) suggested he would rather “slit his wrists” than make another Bond film. Hiddleston (very minor spoiler alert) even orders a vodka martini while sporting a smart suit at the end of the final episode. The comparison between The Night Manager and Bond is inevitable: Beyond the globetrotting tale, the opening credits mimic the imagery that made the Bond films so iconic.
