Eddie Marsan fancies his chances as the next James Bond after playing John Darwin in The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe. The 53-year-old has been praised for his performance as the disgraced conman in the ITV series, which is based on the real life story and follows a couple who, in desperate financial times, resorted to a preposterous plan to fake John’s death so that they could claim life insurance money.
As episode two aired on Monday night, Eddie slid into the Twitter commentary to pitch himself as the new 007, following in Daniel Craig’s footsteps.
Alongside a photo of himself in character posing beside a canoe in a swimsuit and holding a paddle, Eddie joked: ‘I’ve been keeping this quiet for some time but, I’m now so relieved to finally announce… that I’ve been a asked [sic] to be the new Bond. ’ His followers were more than happy to humour his banter, with one quipping: ‘Basildon Bond ???’ as another replied: ‘Came here to say this but knew it my heart it would have been said already.
Well played sir. ’ ‘Has anyone mentioned Dr Who that’ll be great as well as Bond (double whammy),’ one viewer suggested. Another chimed in: ‘Thank goodness it’s as James Bond and not as Honey Ryder. ’ Gladly handing the baton over to Eddie, one fan laughed: ‘You were always the bookies’ favourite!
