Hollywood actor Daniel Craig might not be ready to take up the job of James Bond again after his last film as the world’s most famous spy in ‘No Time To Die’ but he doesn’t want a woman replacing him too.

Yes we couldn’t believe this too when we first got to know about this weird statement of his but before you judge the actor, read his full statement.

In a statement, James Bond actor did not diss the idea of a woman James Bond but instead said “there should simply be better parts for women and actors of colour”. He said, “Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?”

He also added, however, in a separate interview that he couldn’t “see any reason why ultimately a woman cannot play the James Bond character”.
