Kristen Stewart Wants to Be A Bond Girl, Daniel Craig Says No

Ok, so let’s start at the beginning here. Kristen Stewart was doing an interview, and at one point the guy asked her if she’d ever be a Bond girl. Here’s what she said:

“I’m not sure, I would love to read a few graphs of the script. I choose my roles really instinctually (sic). I would really have to connect with the material.”

Right? And when she was pressed, she “I don’t know, maybe,” and when she was asked again, she said “yes, hell yes.” So we know that Kristen Stewart has either a vague interest in being in a James Bond movie or an understandably short fuse when it comes to persistent dudes giving interviews.

But you know what? It doesn’t matter? Because someone else did an interview with Daniel Craig, the current James Bond, and he was asked what he thought about Kristen’s Bond comments. And here’s how he responded:

“No,” Craig answers with disgust. “She’s in Twilight.”

Snap! But then he realized he was probably being a little too bitchy, so he clarified:

“No, I’m being nasty. I’m only saying that because it’s [Breaking Dawn Part 2] coming out this weekend so we’re in direct competition with them,” he admits with a chuckle. “I’m sure she’d make a great Bond girl.”

Oh, Daniel, you usually have no problem telling us how you really feel! What’s the problem? Why did you take it back? It’s ok, we all know that Kristen Stewart would make a horrible Bond girl. Stick with your words, Daniel. Stick with your words.

  • There shouldn’t be any Bond girls point blank. It’s a sexist, passé trope, and anyway they fade into obscurity except for a few exceptions so it’s not like the role will clearly benefit the actress. I do want a Bond played by a woman or a non-white actor or actress.

    • mireee: go see the new Bond movie “Skyfall”. The new Moneypenny is a non-white former field agent who does some incredible driving in the opening sequence (won’t say anymore to avoid spoiling the movie).
