5 Olympic biathletes who might secretly be James Bond
By John Buhler
4. Martin Jaeger
Martin Jaeger, now that’s a hell of a name. He may have a face as cherubic as the Baby Faced Assassin known as Stephen Curry, but this Swiss biathlete is 30 years old. He’s got a little bit of that Bruce Wayne kind of look to him, so maybe he could play Batman if James Bond doesn’t work out. Regardless, there is potential with him for sure.
Jaeger may not be the most rugged of Bonds, but he could be a classy gentleman like a Pierce Brosnan with the right sort of lighting. He may not be the fighting type, but Jaeger could do work with weapons and could be smashingly handsome at cocktails parties in secret underground Russian lair casinos. I see certain sophistication with this potential Bond.
The good news is that he looks like he’s 12, so that means plenty of Bond movie making opportunities. The problem is that he could be more Timothy Dalton than Brosnan, and nobody wants that, not even T-Dalt.
If Peter Klaven was going to have a biathlete version of himself play James Bond, it would be Jaeger. Well, if that were the case and the producer’s call, then why not just give that old Jobin Paul Rudd a call to be James Bond then? That Jobin will have a margarita, as he’s not tag-teaming that Feriggno Estate with some dumb Tevin, because he’s got a license to sell. Hysterical!
