"Fans would accept a gay Bond" - 007 star

Fri 11 Apr 2008 In: International News View at Wayback

James Bond star Daniel Craig says he's open-minded to the idea of his womanising superspy 007 character finding himself in bed with a man. Playing gay is OK: Buff Bond star Daniel Craig Craig, 40, believes a same-sex romp wouldn't damage the legendary lothario's macho reputation - insisting fans won't be put off by a Bond who prefers guys. He told reporters this week, "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. No one would bat an eyelid." Craig is currently filming the 22nd James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace. When cast as Bond for 2006's Casino Royale, he told journalists he aimed to bring more "emotional depth" to the character, which had been accused of sexism in the past.
