A few things come to mind when one thinks of Niall Horan: One Direction; the name Niall; the surname Horan. What about James Bond, though? Did you ever think maybe James Bond should come to mind when you think about Niall Horan? If no, you disagree with James Bond himself—007.

As we know, pop group One Direction is on unstable ground after the coward Zayn abandoned his troupe, sending them spiraling into hell left only to entertain the devil at his behest. So what of Niall Horan, then?

As Kate Bush once sang, about him:

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

Little did Kate Bush know the little life left within Niall Horan would go toward the role of James Bond—that is, if James Bond himself, 007, has his way.

In an interview on U.K. radio station Capital FM, Daniel Craig was asked whether he thought Niall Horan, whom he calls a “good man,” would be a good fit for Bond. A good question—and an important one.

Craig replied:

“He would.”

Ah. Yes.
