How would you write a parody of the Craig era films?

Just seen this on Oliver Reed's IMDB page scoffing at the idea of Bond being seen as an alcoholic brawler!?!: "Oliver was probably within a sliver of being cast as Bond." ... "But by 1968 his affairs were public and he was already drinking and fighting - as far away from the refined Bond image as you could get". My question is which actor/public figure do you think could play a decent Bond simply by being themselves.
