The Dublin native peppered screens over the Christmas holidays as the dangerous Philip Lombard in And Then There Were None, which finished up last night.

His role in the Agatha Christie drama saw him wearing a dashing suit in the story of ten people killed off on an island they can’t escape due to bad weather.

Viewers all had the same opinion. Make that man the next James Bond

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Can Aidan Turner be the next James Bond? Please please please?

If Aidan Turner isn't in the running for Bond after #AndThenThereWereNone the world is a very mad place. Look at him in that tuxedo.

Just watching "And Then There Were None." I reckon Aidan Turner could be a future Bond.

But it’s not all good news for the actor…

Just got a memo. Aidan Turner now officially designated as the actor forced to deflect endless stupid questions about "next James Bond".
