007 has to be a white man, says Bond girl

A former Bond girl has said that 007 has to be a white man.

Maryam d’Abo, 65, who played a cello smuggling Bond girl in the The Living Daylights in 1987, has given her verdict on who Daniel Craig’s successor should be.

Asked if she thought a black actor could be cast, she said: “Then don’t call it Bond. Call it something else. You can have a wonderful black hero, but then don’t call him James Bond.”
