katikat | Is the new Bond villain bisexual?

HuffingtonPost posted an article titled "James Bond Bisexual: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem On Alleged Homoerotic 'Skyfall' Scene": link. Hm.

Honestly, I don't understand why they would think BOND was bisexual, especially in the context of the scene they described - in which Bardem's character Silva apparently caresses the torso of James Bond - how does that make BOND bi? *scratches head* I would say it makes SILVA, Bardem's character, the bi one. But that would maybe not sound as sensational? *hands* Though I loved what Daniel Craig said about it:

Describing the scene as "a great flirt" and "a game of cards," the actor says, "Someone suggested that Silva may be gay. And I'm like, I think he'll f*** anything."

Craig, who says that he "loves the scene," adds, "I don't see the world in sexual divisions."

And this, THIS is why Daniel Craig's the perfect Bond for me. As he proved in Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon, he isn't afraid to play a gay or go full frontal and I think this willingness to take risks and just "go there" is what makes him the perfect Bond, not just a clean cut suit wearer like Pierce Brosnan - yeah, didn't like Brosnan as Bond, he felt sleazy to me, icky!

Man, I can't wait for the movie. And if the fandom picks up Bond/Q and runs with it, I'll be more than happy to oblige and hop on the bandwagon ;)

ETA: Another article actually mentions why Bond is/might be bisexual: link. Looks like the HP one was simply badly written! And considering Craig mentioned he wanted to update Bond and play him as bi, I guess he's getting his wish! \o/ Thank you so much for the link,
