Michael praised current James Bond star, Daniel Craig, but suggested alternatives such either a female Jane Bond or a younger James Bond.

“As an acting role, I think Daniel has done such a cracking job in this age group. I think the franchise needs something new,” he told British GQ.

“I just love Bond. Doesn’t everyone? I grew up with him. It’s always a fun conversation to have.

“But Bond should be someone in their early 20s. I always thought Bond should be British, but let’s get an American in o r maybe someone like Jack O’Connell would be good?

“Or even better, how about Jane Bond? A woman. One thing is for sure, it won’t be anyone on the bookies’ lists. It never is.”
