I'm not saying that he is or isn't, just presenting the article for discussion.

quote:

there’s a pretty wild rumor swirling around the internet that Daniel Craig may not be playing Bond after the completion of the upcoming Bond 23. The reasoning? Because he’s gay.

There's not an actor out there I'd be shocked about hearing had done some pole smoking. There weren't too many straight guys in drama class in high school.

Probably the least important thing anyone could think about when watching one of his movies.

He did want a gay scene in Quantum of Solace, so it wouldn't surprise me. And no I'm not shitting you, he literally wanted a gay scene for Bond, thinking the world and Bond was open enough for it now.

"The name's Bond, James Bond, and I like to take it up the arse. I like my salad tossed like I like my martinis, shaken not stirred."

I just don't understand why you'd take a character who is already well established as a womanizer and suddenly make him switch teams...

You know what would make Bond cooler? If he chugged a shitload of dick.

Not true.

From the article linked in the OP:

"You should be even more skeptical because the story claims that Bond producers, the Broccoli’s, want Daniel Craig out specifically because of a pair of incidents. First there was a comment Craig made after Casino Royale here. The Examiner misrepresents his statement in their rumor to make it seem as though Daniel Craig “suggested the time was right for Bond to explore gay relationships.” That’s untrue. What actually happened is that when asked if he would mind a gay Bond he said, “Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. No one would bat an eyelid.”

Not one bit to me. Him being gay or not gay to any extent makes zero difference to me, nor should it to anyone else, he's a great Bond.

I dunno about this. I seriously doubt as many people would be interested in seeing Octopenis as Octopussy. I don't think I'd wanna see that.

ETA: But I agree that the actor being gay is totally irrelevant.

I would have no problem with Craig being gay, thats his business. However I dont want to see bond being gay and im sure most fans would be upset over that

ok, how does this negate my point that Craig would be perfectly fine with James Bond, the biggest womanizer in the history of cinema, having a homosexual relationship? What if someone asked Sean Connery this? It was an extremely gay response.

Omar Little is gay, and he was a fricking badass.

it would certainly taint his image as cinema's biggest womanizer. Then again Neil Patrick Harris is gay, and most of his roles are huge womanizers.

your original point was that Craig was basically campaigning for a gay scene when from the quote it looks like he was just answering a question.

That was dismissed as a rumor started by the jackass fans who were butthurt over Brosnan's firing. I believe it started on that danielcraigisnotbond.com site.

I kind of doubt it. He was banging Sienna Miller for awhile. His most recent girlfriend is pretty attractive. Doesn't seem like she's a "beard" for PR purposes and to protect his "image".
