And now Daniel Craig has revealed his top pick for the next Bond girl.
While being interviewed on Globalgrind.com the British star revealed
he can see singer Rihanna playing the MI6 agent's love interest.
Craig, who was promoting the 23rd Bond movie on the web show, was
asked by interviewer Ben Lyons: 'Who makes a better Bond girl: Rihanna
or Beyonce?'
After a moment's hesitation, Craig, who is playing the legendary spy
for the third time replied: 'Rihanna, I think.' Questioning Craig's
choice as to why he would choose the Diamonds singer he said: 'She's
dirtier.'
But when the same question was put t Skyfall's leading ladies, Naomie
Harris and Bérénice Marlohe, shortly afterwards they went for Beyonce.
Upon being told their co-star had picked the 24- year-old Barbadian
recording artist on the basis of her being 'dirtier', the pair looked
shocked.
'Is that what you need to be a Bond girl?' asked Naomie, who plays
Miss Moneypenny in the new film. On hearing the news Rihanna, who made
her acting debut earlier this year in the sci-fi blockbuster
Battleship, tweeted:
'Daniel Craig Says Rihanna Would Be An Ideal Bond Girl..
this makes me happy ' Over the years the coveted role of James'
leading lady has gone to a range of actresses including Honor Blackman
as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, Jane Seymour as Solitaire in Live and
Let Die, Halle Berry as Jinx in Die Another Die, and Ursula Andress as
Honey Ryder in Dr No.
Daniel, who has just signed up for another two James Bond movies,
recently revealed on the Jimmy Kimmel show that he had recruited both
the director, Sam Mendes, and co-star, Javier Bardem, to sign up for
Skyfall, the 23rd film in the 007 franchise.
'I was at Hugh Jackman's birthday party. It was late in the evening
and I'd had a few too many drinks and Sam Mendes turned up,' he
recalled.
'We started talking about the next [James Bond] movie and I had a
flash of inspiration and said, 'Why don't you do it?"
Craig ran into Jaview Bardem at another showbiz party: 'He'd always
wanted to be a Bond villain,' he said. 'And I said 'Come do it'.'
