Sean BeanWith the release of the new Bond movie we've had a little bit of a frenzy listing our favourite 007s – until someone mentioned Sean Bean.

Yes, it's not just the secret spy that gets us going it's the villains too – everyone loves a bad boy after all.

Here's our countdown of the sexiest boys in Bond...







Best of Bond and Bond villains

    8. Timothy Dalton
    Brooding and serious more like the James Bond we see Daniel Craig playing now than the cheeky, innuendo dropping Roger Moore. And oooh, those eyes!

    7. Toby Stephens
    More recently we swooned at him as Mr Rochester in the BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre but he made for a fabulous sword-wielding villain in Die Another Day too.

    6. Roger Moore
    Both loved and hated for his roguish interpretation of the world's best-known secret agent. We of course think he's divine.

    5. Christopher Walken
    Great actor, rubbish film but we don't hold that against him. As Max Zorin in a View to a Kill he does play an axe-wielding maniac with a certain sexy je ne sais quoi.

    4. Sean Bean
    We love a nemesis, especially a good boy turned bad and he wears a rather large facial scar particularly well in Goldeneye.

    3. Pierce Brosnan
    Apparently the Bond that most men would like to be. Yep, we can see why.

    2. Daniel Craig
    If only there were 2 topspots! The modern day Bond, pouty and blond makes us giddy with his smouldering looks especially when he emerges dripping wet from the sea!

    1. Sean Connery
    We couldn't give first place to anyone else. The voice was the clincher and never have we wanted to be a secretary more than when this Bond drools 'Moneypenny'. The original and the best.
