Former Bond Girl Britt Ekland SLAMS decision to make 007 a father

By ROXY SIMONS and REBECCA DAVISON

 

Unhappy: Former Bond Girl Britt Ekland SLAMMED the decision to make 007 a father as she claimed it 'ruins the fantasy' because the iconic spy should be 'untouchable'

 

It's been reported that James Bond, played by Daniel Craig, will have a five-year-old daughter in the upcoming film, No Time To Die. 

 

And Former Bond Girl Britt Ekland claimed on Tuesday's edition of Good Morning Britain that she doesn't think 007 should be a father, as he should be 'a fantasy' and 'untouchable'.

 

The actress, 77, appeared in The Man With The Golden Gun opposite Roger Moore's iteration of the iconic spy in 1974, and said she didn't agree with the decision as 'everyone wants to be' him.

 

Britt explained: 'Well, I think that Bond should probably be a little more untouchable. He's a fantasy, Bond. Everyone wants to be Bond.'

She's 77.... you didn't expect her to still look like Mary Goodnight do you? - I mean, its a real shame she doesn't.

 

More on topic - the modernization of bond is emasculating, he'll be doing the bloody ironing and washing up next !!!!

While fatherhood itself is hardly emasculating the modernization of the character is most certainly heading that way.

Sure, cast Idris Elba in that roll - he can carry off the suave masculinity of a bond character... but lets not completely alter the character of a fictional icon.

Preferred her dancing in The Wicker Man.  Mmmmmm

I think the next agent should be a mixture of Asian, Black, White and maybe Red. He should be a pastafarian with at least two wives and also a trans boyfriend. He should be fat, multi-national and maybe a fan of a K-Pop.

That should cover a lot of whatever he should be for whatever market.

But please call him also anything else but James Bond 007. Because 007 fans won't care about such a PC person.

P.S.: I almost forgot: He must obviously also support Me2.

Oliver Reed should have been Bond. Would have been great.

 

Too late now.

 

How about Vinny Jones?

[tifino]

I reckon the Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, would have done the job proud... but then so could have Jon Pertwee - considering he was a ww2 Intelligence fella! 

 

 

still - 007 could just have as easily become a 'mother'!

[phetphet]

Next they will be casting a woman in the role. PC gone mad.

Watch Series 4 of The Real Marigold Hotel. Britt Ekland is in it and she hasn't lost any of her charm.

She's still handing out photos of her in The Man With The Golden Gun to people in India.

Isn't that classed as false advertising?    PML

Bond having a family makes him more vunerable to those dastardly villians.

In the world of a woman's woman it is passe to be a woman's man.  A man is after all no different today than a handbag.  Show it off when you are out and about and hang it on the door and forget it when you get home.

No. He has to go to work to make a lot of money. And he obviously must show gratitude that she accept that money and let him touch her from time to time.

Yes but Bond liked a Martini shaken not stirred. Olly like 10 pints of bitter.

I'm not sure if it had a 'letch by date' at the bottom (so to speak)

I hear Thailand is pretty good at performing sex change operations. So perhaps, in a future installment, Bond is sent to Thailand to crack an international (something) ring, is captured, and well, you can imagine the rest....

Probably also could have him in a wheelchair but he likes to break dance.

[bendejo]

Well, at least she didn't enable Rod Stewart to become a father, some credit where credit is due.

 

IMO Oliver Reed would have been a good Bond villain.  But not someone freakish, he didn't need that, just a guy who is obnoxious and vile, sort of like the Goldfinger character.

 

It's only a matter of time before Bond is portrayed as an enby (non-binary gender designation), maybe played by Tig Notaro or Eddie Redmayne.  They already did something like that in the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy version of a few years ago, the tough guy skirt chaser agent was turned into a bisexual who wept when his boyfriend moved out.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm old.

No way!! He is not a good Bond persona figure. Too much SJW about him.
