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.
