New James Bond Daniel Craig Will Have Gay Lover
September 4, 2006

Daniel Craig will have a male love interest in the next Bond movie.

The British actor has attracted a large gay following after sharing an onscreen kiss with another man in his latest movie 'Infamous', and film bosses are keen to capitalise on this new status.

'Infamous' documents the life of author Truman Capote. In the movie, Craig plays convicted killer Perry Smith who has a relationship with Capote, played by British actor Toby Jones.

'Bond 22' - the follow-up to Craig's debut 007 movie 'Casino Royale', which is due to be released in November - will now see a homoerotic relationship develop between the suave spy and secret agent Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright.
A film insider said: "Bond will always be a hit with the ladies. But Daniel has a massive gay fan base and that can't be ignored.

"There will still be sexy Bond Girls. But the modern Bond will be more sensitive."

Craig has already been heavily criticised by some Bond fans unhappy at his casting in the role and this latest news seems certain to cause more furore.

The 38-year-old star was previously lambasted for wearing a lifejacket on the speedboat journey to his first Bond press conference, his confession that he hates guns, his alleged inability to drive a manual car and for reportedly losing two teeth in his first fight scene.

Well that should be entertaining then.

Ehh...did we really have to dignify this by posting a link?

[kneelbeforezod]

Unbelievable

If that's what it'll take to get more Felix Leiter, I'm all for it.

[jaguar007]

Yep, that and Sean Connery will also be playing Bond's Dad!

[Ouroboros]

The thing I don't get, is that Daniel Craig kissed Rhys Ifans in Enduring Love. So it's not a new thing. The press clearly haven't done their actor research.

Plus, I really can't imagine the producers pandering in such a way, given their current attitude. That is, if it's even true that Craig developed a "massive gay following" upon the revelation of this tidbit.

But seriousness aside, Leiter and Bond?

Maybe they're the new Spock and Kirk.

OR Batman and Robin

According to MSN Canada. Bond and Leiter will get it on!

I realise this is very silly and I realise I shouldn't get worked up.

But you have to wonder, WHERE, WHY and WHO?. Its Nuts how this franchise is being treated. Nuts.

Deanna... your press contacts are pretty good, unfortunately.

I think it's time EON/Sony sicked it's legal goons on these bastards! If they can go after someone for a positive review or leaking of the script it's high time they put an end to this. It's sick that they are trying to incite some type of homophobic reaction to Craig as Bond. That's just low to do that.

[bogard]

I disagree. It gladly pay the price of crappy press for the freedom of speech. If people want to make fun of Craig they should be able to do so.

Freedom of speech is one thing, slander and lies is another and something I have no respect for!

[dee-bee-five]

This is one of those absurd "double-decker bus found on the moon" type summer stories which have no basis in fact or common sense whatsoever. And the people putting out this stuff are now making themselves, not Daniel Craig, look fools - though one doubts they have the wit or the intelligence to recognise that.

It's fodder for morons. Just ignore it.

[Broadsword]

it is plain odd.

'weird', 'odd' are words i would describe the dodgy press stories so far. I have always seen tabloid/celeb journos in a kind of childish light, overly excited, not concerned with the facts and not overly given to hard work BUT I am changing my opnion. it is past laziness to print this. it is plain gibberish and how it can get through the editing process is beyond me.

[DamnCoffee]

Bond - Gay?

in daniel craigs words:
" off"

[james st.john smythe]

if james bond turned into a puff i would burn my video/dvd collection and send the bill to broccolis

[secret_007]

Craig is seriously disgusting. Yuck, James Bond turning into gay. What are they thinking of? Fleming didnt describe bond as gay, he describe bond as straight. The bond series is not as it used to be. Craig is ruining the franchise.

Don't tell my you actually believe this article, Secret_007!!

[secret_007]

Don't tell my you actually believe this article, Secret_007!!

I do believe it because Craig is kissing another man in another film.

[The Dove]

Yes he was.. but what the hell does that have to do with the role of James Bond??!!

[secret_007]

Yes he was.. but what the hell does that have to do with the role of James Bond??!!

The article says the next bond film he going to kiss Felix and I believe it because he already doing it in another film.

I guess he'll also be doing a South African accent, die and be magically saved by going back in time, and get shot in the head by Tom Hanks, as he did all those in previous films. Seriously man, just quite while you're, er, sort of ahead, as your logic gets stupider and stupider with each post.

[Binyamin]

secret_007... if you must attack Mr. Craig at every opportunity, at least actually read the entire post first, and back your opinion with some sort of logic or intelligent thought. Running around screaming "queer!" without any basis just makes you look foolish.

[DLibrasnow]

slander? where?

[K1Bond007]

Where is the ing logic there? This is the dumbest thing I've ever ing read. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you're going to bash Daniel Craig at every damn turn then please for the love of all things holy, think about what you're going to say beforehand.

God forbid AN ACTOR play a different role. Brosnan played a gay guy a couple times and you didn't see him sexxing up Jack Wade.

I can't fathom how someone can become so diluted in their own to even take an article like this seriously then put up rationale like this as support. How old are you, seriously? If you say any number over ten then I'm going to know you're lying or something is seriously wrong with the education system where you're at.

I swear to God, before the Internet the village idiot stayed in their town.

[The Dove]

I can't figure out the logic either...

Statement A: Daniel Craig played a gay man in a film.
Statement B: Daniel Craig plays James Bond in a film.

Therefore, Daniel Craig plays a gay James Bond??!!

Isn't he just? Lordy, the scales have just dropped from my eyes. I've been so blind.

Well, you've convinced me.
