Daniel Craig says no same-sex shagging for James Bond

Bad news Bond fans: in an interview posted today on the Guardian film blog, Daniel Craig took some readers' questions about the upcoming Bond movie Quantum of Solace including this one: 

Question: Over the years, we've seen Bond shag many beautiful birds along the way. Do you think Bond will ever shag a bloke? (from Paul1970)

Daniel Craig: This is that question that keeps eternally coming up. No. Kill him and then seduce him [laughs] but not seduce him. It's never been on the agenda and we've never had a discussion about it. It's not something that I desire or want. No.

I don't quite follow the "kill him and then seduce him ... but not seduce him" part. Sounds like we're talking about necrophilia. And I don't even mind — much — that this 145th installment of Bond will not include anything gay with James, but I don't get that they've never even had a discussion about it. Really? We are talking a franchise that has done about everything under the sun and needs to stay relevant and fresh, and having Bond have a same-sex romance or encounter never even came up?

As for Craig, clearly when he says it's not something "he wants" he is referring to what he wants for the character of Bond as he's played gay before including in Infamous (pictured below). 

Well, I guess we can still hope for a moment to top Craig's strutting from the ocean in the last flick. Or his nude torture scene. Say, how about a nude stroll out of the ocean?
