Roger Moore says James Bond can't be a gay man or a woman: 'That wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote'
Roger Moore has once again spoken out over James Bond, saying the spy should neither be a gay man or a woman.
Moore, who played Bond between 1974 and 1985, previously came under fire for his comments regarding the possibility of Idris Elba taking on the role.
And now it seems he's gone even further.
“I have heard people talk about how there should be a lady Bond or a gay Bond. But they wouldn’t be Bond for the simple reason that wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote," he reportedly told the Daily Mail: “It is not about being homophobic or, for that matter, racist – it is simply about being true to the character.”
