Jamie Foxx to be first black Bond?
Source: Stuff.co.nz
Jamie Foxx wants to be the first black James Bond.
The Oscar-winning actor would jump at the chance to portray the suave British spy. He said: "Of course I'd take the role. I'd put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know." Foxx insists he would have no problem perfecting his British accent, and he wouldn't be afraid to suggest some changes for the role. He said: "Maybe I wouldn't be drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. My Bond would drink dark liquor."
Foxx claims fans are keen to see him fulfil his dream, adding: "I was in London and I had to give an award to the current James Bond Daniel Craig. I went up and said, 'Bond. Black Bond.' And everybody just lost it. Black Bond would be cool." The idea of having a black Bond was originally suggested by Craig. He insisted it would be an exciting prospect following Barack Obama's success in the US Presidential election race earlier this month. A recent survey revealed people would most like to see Will Smith, Djimon Hounsou or Terrence Howard become the first black James Bond.

Definitely a NO! That would destroy the whole Bond-universe! Craig is already "a step too far", but you have become accustomed to his look. But I cannot imagine a black Bond - James Bond is white!

It seems the more Bond films veer from some of the traditions of the past the more they open speculation on further changes.
A black Bond? I struggle seeing Fox in the role. If the producers really wanted to pull this off I think they'd have to a) go with someone less known and b) find a brit. I can't see a yank pulling this off. Of course a lot of people freaked out about a blond bond (Craig) so I can see this speculation (IMO) setting a few folks off. |
