00:00Daniel Craig does not want to answer whether or not James Bond is gay.
00:05Why would anybody think James Bond is gay?
00:07There's a reason this was asked.
00:08So Daniel Craig is in a new movie called Queer, where he has some same-sex scenes with Omar Apollo as an actor and singer.
00:14And so he was doing a press conference at the Venice Film Festival for Queer, along with the director Luca Guadagnino.
00:20And the reporter there asked him, could there ever be a gay James Bond?
00:24Which is dumb, because Daniel Craig is not playing James Bond anymore. He's done.
00:28And so he kind of ignores it. The director just goes,
00:30Guys, let's be adult in the room for a second.
00:35Well, we've seen James Bond's track record, and it is impressive with women.
00:39So if he's with a guy, that's great.
00:41You could see him trying to seduce a guy as a spy thing.
00:44Yeah, he could do that.
00:45But that's not gay. That's not a gay James Bond.
00:47Well, I know. That's what I'm saying. If you have a gay James Bond, you fundamentally change who the character is.
00:51I don't think so.
00:52You have.
00:53No, because you just make the people, the conquests, men.
00:55Instead of octopussy, you have octowiener.
