From PR Inside (via Towleroad):Daniel Craig will have a male love interest in the next Bond movie
The British actor has attracted a large gay following after sharing an onscreen kiss with another man in his latest movie 'Infamous', and film bosses are keen to capitalise on this new status.
'Infamous' documents the life of author Truman Capote. In the movie, Craig plays convicted killer Perry Smith who has a relationship with Capote, played by British actor Toby Jones.
'Bond 22' - the follow-up to Craig's debut 007 movie 'Casino Royale', which is due to be released in November - will now see a homoerotic relationship develop between the suave spy and secret agent Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright.
A film insider said: "Bond will always be a hit with the ladies. But Daniel has a massive gay fan base and that can't be ignored. There will still be sexy Bond Girls. But the modern Bond will be more sensitive."
Let's just ignore that this info comes from the ol' stand-by "a film insider", and therefore must be taken with an enormous grain of salt, and just play along for now.
So nothing against Jeffrey Wright, he's a fine actor, but I kinda wish they'd go the same route for the Bond Boy as they do for the Bond Girls; that is, hire the hottest piece of man-flesh available.
Like Nathaniel was lamenting at Film Experience the other day, we've seen Daniel Craig mack on Derek Jacobi in Love Is the Devil and we'll soon see him mack on Toby Jones in Infamous, both fine actors but hardly hurricanes of testosterone, and well, I was denied Craig and Eric Bana action in Munich (don't look at me like that, the subtext was so there) so I just want a good sexy Bond Boy, and Wright just isn't doing it for me.
If we take Eva Green as the franchise's new direction in female-bombshell casting, I think I'll steal a page from the Lost casting guidebook and go with Rodrigo Santoro.
Hell to the please?

lol, who writes that complete and utter shit?
The producers will not let Bond go gay. Simple as that. And why on earth would anybody (gays included) want that. It would absolutely ridiculous.
(but i do agree that they could at least hire somebody really smokin')
I agree with Christopher. It would be more plausible for Bond to have relations with a boy rather than with another man. It is known that the KGB used pre-pubescent boys to entrap targets whom they suspected of having pederastic leanings, and Bond may well have enjoyed such relationships at Eton and Fettes.
My 'Bond boys' would be Patrick Aspbury from the Choirboys and Louis-Alexander Desire.
