George Lazenby backs female James Bond

OHMYGOSSIP — George Lazenby thinks James Bond could be female – eventually.
The 82-year-old Australian – who was the second person to play the spy after Sir Sean Connery – thinks anything is possible for 007 because he’s previously been played by a wide variety of men, including a Scot, an Irishman, a Welshman and two Englishmen, but doesn’t think it will happen right away.
And George highlighted the late Dame Diana Rigg – who played Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo opposite him as Bond in 1969’s ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ – as proof of what a strong female agent could look like.
He told TMZ: “[She was] everything a top spy could be — sexy, tough, sassy and able to look after herself. So, there’s no reason why you can’t have a special agent like that.”
George’s comments came after current Bond Daniel Craig – who is leaving the role once new movie ‘No Time To Die’ is released – said a woman shouldn’t play the spy because they deserve better parts in their own right.
And the veteran actor defended Daniel to the outlet, as he believes the ‘Skyfall’ star was just backing up comments previously made by the franchise’s producer, Barbara Broccoli.
Barbara said last year: “Bond can be of any colour, but he is male.
“I’m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it.”
Daniel caused a stir with his comments on the issue earlier this week.
When asked if he would support a more “diverse” appointment as his replacement, he replied: “The answer to that is very simple.
“There should simply be better parts for women and actors of colour.
“Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?”
