>>276 I saw that. I totally agree with the sentiment expressed. He has given up his mystique, which Bond should have (hence so many relative unknowns have been cast). But it seems a bit like correlation = causation. I can't recall when he was spotted talking with Sam Mendes, but I think it was early May. There was then a lot of gossip that wasn't borne out (like in that 007 magazine which reckoned he was about to be named, which he then wasn't). Then there was a pause and only then did the TS pics come out.

Alternatively theory: he didn't get it and what we are seeing is the TH equivalent of going on a massive 3 day bender with a lot of messy behaviour on white wine and tequila after you don't get the job/promotion/lover. Only Tom's messy benders consist of wearing stupid t shirts and saying "fuck it, world, I am famous and hot because I am dating TS". And looking at cat pictures on her phone.
