We’re all desperate to know who’s going to play James Bond after Daniel Craig in No Time To Die, and it seems as though Ben Whishaw has some thoughts.
During a recent interview with Attitude Magazine, he was asked whether the next actor to play Bond should be gay.
He really loved the idea and had this to say on the subject:
God, can you imagine? I mean, it would be quite an extraordinary thing. Of course, I would like to see that.
Whishaw then went on to make it very clear that he doesn’t think that James Bond should be depicted as a gay man.
However, he did reveal that the industry needs to get to a place where LGBTQ+ performers can get to portray someone like James Bond regardless of their sexuality.
I really believe that we should be working towards a world where anyone can play anything and it would be really thrilling if it didn’t matter about someone’s sexuality to take on a role like this.
