JAMES Bond actor Daniel Craig is giving ‘Bond girl’ a whole new meaning, dressing up in drag for a short film to support International Women’s Day.
The 007 star trades his signature suit for a flowing blond wig, dress, pearls and sensible heels in the sombre clip which highlights inequalities faced by women around the world.The video – narrated by British actress Judi Dench, recreating her role as spy master M – notes Bond’s ‘fondness for women’ but asks if the suited spy has ‘ever considered what it might like to be one’.A silent Bond reappears on camera and strikes a seemingly confident pose in drag. As M rattles off statistics on sexual violence, education and pay inequality, Craig pulls off the wig and earrings.He exits the screen when asked ‘So, are we equals?’ – aNampa-AP
