I honestly do not think that he is. I think that he looks kind of like Odo. [http://www.strekonline.com/ds9/database/odo.jpg](http://www.strekonline.com/ds9/database/odo.jpg) Am I the only one for whom DC just does not do it? ---

He doesn’t have the greatest face, but it’s the very muscular body that I find attractive. ---

Hmm. I am a hetero-dude. I wish I was as attractive as Daniel Craig. However… there are two schools of thought on this topic. One group likes their James Bond to be cultured and sophisticated (and is demonstrated by Bonds knowledge of fine wines, for example). Pierce Brosnan was a good fit for that image. The other group (probably more true to the books) likes their Bond to be more of a tough “thug”, shiving cold war KGB agents in some back alley in night time Prague in the dead of winter. The young Sean Connery and Daniel Craig fit this role, IMO. ---

I think he’s a pretty good-lookin’ guy. Straight male myself, but I’m going on a great many anecdotal references. One of them being that they were part-way through shooting Casino Royale and didn’t realize what they had yet; they showed the dailies for the scene where he walks out of the ocean and the reaction of the female crew was, to say the least, enthusiastic. ---

Straight female also. Kind of meh. Better than average body, average face. He’s on People’s 100 sexiest due out this week. Hugh Jackman is #1. ---

His bottom lip is a wee bit “ooh ooh mommy I has a boo-boo” pouty for me. He’s not bad looking otherwise, and he’s how I always pictured James Bond from the books. ---

NO. (based on the pic linked to in the OP) Is he the new Bond? If so, then, yes, he is somewhat attractive. That first pic makes me want to hurl. ---

I cannot get past his lower lip pout. It’s like he’s doing [Blue Steel](http://clarkbw.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/blue-steel.png) in every single photo. I’ve only ever seen him with that one expression. So, no. Not sexy. ---

The pic linked to in the OP isn’t him, it is Odo, a character from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine played by Rene Auberjonois in heavy makeup. ---

He has a great body and really striking blue eyes. To borrow a phrase from gramma: I wouldn’t kick him out of my bed for eating crackers. ---

It seems most women find him sexy b/c of his muscular physique rather than his face, which some are amazingly calling ‘average.’ I think with his blue eyes and pouty lip that he’s much more than average but whatever. He gives much hope for me for my future sexiness, as I am gradually becoming a gym rat~ ---

If I just saw a photograph of him, I wouldn’t think him very attractive. In fact when he was announced as the new Bond, I was like 😕 But onscreen he practically oozes sex. He’s tough, masculine and brooding. Still waters run deep and all that. ---

Hell, yes. The man is _delicious_. He’s not classically attractive, but something about the way he moves…rowr. **SaharaTea** puts it well. ---

I think he’s striking, certainly. I haven’t seen him in anything (I don’t think) but he seems to have a certain je ne sais quoi. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-daniel-craig-attractive/473504.md?page=2)
