While promoting his latest film, "The Equalizer," Washingtonrevealed his interest in being the next actor in line to star in the global franchise during a chat with Reddit “Ask Me Anything”. He said:
"The next James Bond? They better hurry up!” Washington wrote in response to a fan’s question. “Yes I would! Who’s doing James Bond now… Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one? Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today! James Washington. Denzel Bond!"
While fans debate the idea on Twitter with the hashtag"#DenzelIsJamesBond”, one thing’s for sure,its become obvious that the term “Black Bond” has become a bit irritating for some people including, another suspected Bond candidate Idris Elba.
On a January appearance on ITV’s “Lorraine,” the "Obssession” star revealed his hatred towards the now popular phrase, saying:
"I've always detested the phrase 'Black Bond', I just don't understand it,” he said. "We don't say 'White Bond', we just say 'Bond', so it suddenly becomes a black man and he's a 'Black Bond'. So I hate that phrase - and it's a rumor that's gotten out of control, basically - but that's all it is. There's no truth in it whatsoever."
Well Boomers, one thing is certian, one balck actor must become the new mR. Bond but who would it be?
