Casting directors probably have one of the most important jobs in Hollywood. When it comes to getting somebody right for a role, all sorts of things have to be taken into consideration, like if they have the right look, or if they’re a cokehead who might just not turn up on set or whether or not they’re Jennifer Lawrence (so hot right now). Sometimes, casting directors take a chance and get it spot on – Heath Ledger as The Joker, anyone? Other times, they not only get it wrong. They get it really, really, weird.

There can only be…! Hey Ryan, where are you going!?

90s eco-hero to be brought in to the new age.

Wahlberg doesn’t get sci-fi either.

There can only be none!

With the news that one of Angie’s sprogs is going to be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming Maleficent, we got thinking about good ol’ nepotism. It’s what enabled Sofia Coppola to get her dirty face all over Godfather 3, introduced Miley Cyrus to the world of fame and singlehandedly brought Rumer Willis’s chin to the attention of paparazzi everywhere. The thing with nepotism, though, is that – despite the fact it works out a lot of the time (see: Angelina Jolie, Jeff Bridges) – sometimes, just sometimes, it spawns people like Jason Connery. Wondering who that is? Then it’s time for you to meet the top ten actors spawned by far more successful parents, and thank your lucky stars that you don’t have a famous mother or father.

So, who’s already too hot? Air-conditioned museums looking like a better and better option? Yeah, us too – add in some gin, and we’re THERE. Therefore, this TGIM is our request that you run along to the 007 exhibition at the Barbican before the Olympics start and the place is riddled with bemused Japanese tourists asking you to hold their Union Jack bumbags and take photos of them with every cracked floor tile they come across.

We like that confidence, Eon. We like it a lot.

We’ve already reported today that little-known French actress Bérénice Marlohe may be stepping in as our obligatory sexy babe for Bond 23. Which got us to thinking; who are the best Bond Girls of all time? Somebody start up the BFF Top 10 machine…

It’s Friday, the weather is sultry and there’s a possible new Bond girl lounging around in France somewhere, which can only mean one thing.
Time to party like 007! So grab a Martini, or get Moneypenny to fetch you one, and immerse yourself in a world of violence, alcoholism and sex. Stag nights ain’t got NOTHING on JB!
