How to become James Bond?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering. If someone wanted to become James Bond like, what would be the curriculum? Not necessarily to become an orphan mi-6 spy, but some,one with the skills we al love.

 

- what would the training schedule be like? Would military training be mandatory?

 

- what hobbies would lead to a James Bond like lifestyle? ( hiking? Rock climbing? Martial arts? Art collecting? Flying or sky diving? )

 

- what other skills would you learn? (Foreign languages, seduction, influencing, marketing, etc?)

 

food for tought....

First you save up some $$, then you invest in the government, then they give you $$ plus interest in 30 years...

While Jason Bourne might not find the Bond profile perfectly, the comparison is sound.  With that in mind, two more solid articles from Steve that I would recommend taking a gander at...

 

How to actually become Jason Bourne. Seriously.

According to Matt Damon, six months of training as a boxer was the foundation of the physical side of the part.  That's where the physique and economy of motion came from.

I might have to log some hours at the local boxing gym now.
