Except Bond was based on the SOE and Commandos of WW2 that looked NOTHING like Craig. Fleming himself said he wrote him to be a dandy.
Commandos in WW2, SOE folks in WW2, weren't brutish looking muscle men.. They were lean, athletic and strong, but they didn't look muscular to modern day standards.
Fleming wrote Bond to tell the story of what he and others had done in WW2, but could not talk about because of the Official Secrets act.
Many things in the early books are based on actual operations and people. And they were not Thuggish super men.
So no.. Craig looks the least of all like what Fleming had in mind
Fleming actually didn't like Connory, and wanted David Niven.. who turned down the part.
See : Craig doesn't look anything like David Niven .. He was more of a dandy.. like Fleming was.
If anything, Bond now is no different from Jason Bourne.. He's turned super strong and boring.
And screwed up several times in the last movies.. shameful really..Bond became fallable.. and boring to boot.
