REVEALED: Research uncovers which James Bond is WORST for dating
A new study into the James Bond films has revealed which of the iconic Bonds would be most toxic to be dating.
With the highly anticipated release of the 25th Bond film, No Time to Die, film data has highlighted 007’s problematic traits, with the study analysing which actors’ portrayal of the secret agent would be the one to avoid dating.
The study from dating app, Fluttr, has analysed all the 24 official James Bond films which have currently been released to see which is the 007 you most want to avoid based on their instances of on-screen bad behaviour.
Compiling data from the films, the research looked at the traits that would raise the alarm when dating, such as the number of drinks consumed and number of kills by each actor, as well as how many different love interests and how many different sexual partners each had.
Baddest behaved Bond revealed
Daniel Craig claims the title as the baddest Bond to start a relationship with, with the blond 007 misbehaving every 1 minutes and 40 seconds across his four films to date. In second place is another modern Bond, with Pierce Brosnan committing a bad deed every 3 minutes and 34 seconds in just four outings as the secret agent.
Third is Roger Moore, with bad behaviour occurring, on average, every 4 minutes and 45 seconds, followed by original Bond Sean Connery (5.21 mins), Timothy Dalton (7.45 mins) and George Lazenby (7.53 mins).

Which Bond is the biggest love rat?
Moore proves to be the least faithful and most sexually charged of the secret agents, with his Bond climbing into bed with a woman once every 46 minutes 37 seconds, when averaged across his films. The suave Moore holds the record for bedding the most women with a huge total of 19 women in his seven movies, significantly more than his counterparts.
Second is Lazenby, despite only appearing in one film, with the Aussie actor having sex with a different partner every 47 minutes 20 seconds, totalling three women in his short stint.
Connery is the third biggest womaniser, sleeping with a Bond girl every 54 minutes, with 13 lovers across his films, followed by Brosnan’s nine sexual partners every 56 minutes 20 seconds, Dalton’s four happening every 66 minutes and Craig’s six taking place every 90 minutes 10 seconds.
