Ian Mckellen Likes The Idea Of A Gay '007'

It seems that the idea of depicting the story of a gay 'James Bond' has been received well by ‘X-Men’ star Ian Mckellen. The veteran actor exhibited his opinion about depicting a homosexual protagonist, which will make the storyline more realistic. The well-known British spy was created by Ian Fleming.

The 78-year-old actor was quoted as saying, "If you play James Bond as an outwardly camp, silly gay man that no one took seriously and then he turned out as many gay men are underneath their clothes buff and strong and as hetero as any hetero we might have a more truthful story than the one that has been told".

The social activist further added, "I'm not sure subsequent actors have quite understood the joke, which is the same as Superman. James Bond is a wimp! He's a silly Englishman that wants his martinis stirred. He changes his underwear, like Superman, and he can save the world. They all play it the same - he's heroic all the way through. No, he's not". McKellen had made his sexual orientation known to general public, in a programme on BBC Radio in the year 1988.
