London
(ANI):
Following
the
historic
victory
of
Barack
Obama
in
the
US
Presidential
elections,
Daniel
Craig
says
the
world
should
be
prepared
to
see
a
'coloured
007'.
The
40-year-old,
who
was
himself
the
target
of
much
criticism
for
being
the
first
'blonde
Bond',
humoured
the
idea
at
a
press
conference
before
the
Italian
premier
of
his
latest
Bond
film,
Quantum
of
Solace.
"After
Barack
Obama's
victory
I
think
we
might
have
reached
the
moment
for
a
coloured
007," the
Telegraph
quoted
him
as
telling
the
Agi
news
agency.
"I
think
the
role
could
easily
be
played
by
a
black
actor,
because
the
character
created
by
Ian
Fleming
in
the
Fifties
has
undergone
a
great
deal
of
evolution
and
continues
to
be
updated."
The
Brit,
who
admired
Obama
for
his
ideals
and
was
happy
to
see
him
win,
added:
"I've
always
been
a
fan
of
Obama.
The
political
ideas
that
have
emerged
from
his
speeches
seem
to
me
to
be
genuine."
