DANIEL CRAIG is urging movie bosses to revolutionise the JAMES BOND franchise by including a gay scene involving the superspy in the follow-up to CASINO ROYALE. The heart-throb actor has also reportedly told studio chiefs he is prepared to film a full frontal nude scene to please both his male and female admirers. He says, "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. "I mean, look at (British TV series) DOCTOR WHO - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye."
I'm all for equality but if he's suggesting that one of the most heterosexual characters in movie history should have a sex scene with a dude then no... just... no.

Craig Wants Gay Bond Scene
That story was fake, and Craig did deny ever having made the comments attributed to him. In fact, there's a certain...history with this site and that story. Under the previous management, it was reported as fact, and when it was later debunked, we were blamed (incorrectly) for having created it in the first place. It soon entered the pro-Craigers' mythology as an example of the depths to which this community would stoop in order to discredit their idol. That's why I think we should bear in mind that these latest allegations are by no means proven, and that we should remember that they come from a trashy tabloid with a history of publishing scurrilous libels.

It's highly likely are people from the pro-Craig sites monitoring places like DCINB..Quite frankly I am surprised we haven't had any of them on here reading us the riot act
I don't remember him recanting the story but I do remember a equally weird interview around that time were he made some odd gay reference about Bond.I think the word to calm people down was he was just joking.Maybe he was though it was still odd.
I can't find where that story was ever denied.Maybe his fanboys denied it but it doesn't come up in a googel search.This was from Apr 11, 2008 http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/253049

Of course they did.
Y'know, it's a free country. People should feel free to speculate about Craig's sexuality without some control freak fans(nobody here, though!) coming here to complain. Yes, there was the gay rumor that was reported as fact. But as Kris said, that was the former management. We should feel free to speculate. If it is true, who cares?I know I don't.But there are Craig fan s that are HORRIFIED at the idea of Craig being gay.
Oscar that link I believe was based on a Aprils Fools Joke in 2008 by a British Tabloid.The 2006 story was not created by us under any management. I know we reported it, I don't know who did start them or what was behind it. Going over news archives there was several stories about Craig wanting a "gay Bond" (None of them started by CnB or DCinB!). What I think is the case is his words were misconstrued and possibly expounded upon to mean more than they should.
Bond reveals gay following
The new James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, is reported to have attracted more Bond boys than girls.
Craig revealed he is consistently mobbed by gay fans who want to look at his body rather than find out about the upcoming Casino Royale film.
He said: "I was out recently and all these gay guys were over me like a rash, but they never ask about the Bond plot."
The new Bond Movie, Casino Royale, dubbed Gay-sino Royale by gay fans, features a full frontal nude scene, according to the Daily Star.
The questions have stuck around, in a 2008 fan 'you ask the question' style interviews Craig answered the question, one he is apparently asked all the time.
You asked Daniel Craig the questions
And somehow gay necrophilia was part of the answer
Question: Over the years, we've seen Bond shag many beautiful birds along the way. Do you think Bond will ever shag a bloke? (from Paul1970)
Daniel Craig: This is that question that keeps eternally coming up. No. Kill him and then seduce him [laughs] but not seduce him. It's never been on the agenda and we've never had a discussion about it. It's not something that I desire or want. No.
"Those were the days when we still associated Bond with suave, old school actors such as Sean Connery and Roger Moore,"
"Daniel didn't have a hint of suave about him," - Patsy Palmer

I remember him saying something about how Bond would never have a gay love scene as long as he was playing the role, but I can't find the interview now either. The Google search shows lots of "Craig wants a gay Bond" stories, but they all cite Contact Music as their original source.

If they want to complain, they should do it to Contact Music and the tabloids, since they are the biggest offenders.We just discuss the stories, regardless of whether they might be true or not.
3 different sources claim this happened. 1 gossip blog says they debunked it but that doesn't make them more trustworthy than the other 3 saying it happened. A gay friendly site added this
"Daniel Craig has definitely been outed as a closet '80s-music lover, as he joined the G80's — an all-gay-male '80s band featuring Matt McLaughlin (aka Bearlinda) on vox/guitar, Tommy Keene on lead guitar, Jim Laspesa (The Muffs/Dave Davies) at the drums and Chris Freeman of Pansy Divison on the bass — on the chorus of the Split Enz classic "I Got You." (Sadly the band did not play the Pansy Division song "James Bondage.")"
, together with the bought a house for a former gay porn star story no wonder people ask questions.

Interesting about him singing with a gay band.
To reiterate: who cares if he likes guys, gals or whatever.I do agree that buying the gay porn star's house is interesting.It could be nothing, though.
Early on I think there were people looking to create a narrative about a gay Bond on film or a the star. A new Bond opened the door this kind of speculation, espeically when it was an actor like Craig who had established a gay fan base.
What is happening now is just stupid because I don't believe anything happened as the tabloids describe and there are no pictures to speak of. What makes this doubly stupid is Daniel Craig's handlers not explaining it reasonably. Without a reasonable explanation fantastic theories fill the gaps in details. Thus all the speculation about a singalong with a gay band and buying from a known gay Real Estate agent.
I am not hanging on to the image of Craig as a butch straight leading man playing a butch straight James Bond, I am rather disenchanted with his Bond after Qunatum. I think all this is a bunch of fantastic story telling from some people who wish it were true. Like a lot of you I don't care what Craig orientation happens to be. Although I do share the hope his longtime girlfriend isn't caught off guard if there is a speck of truth in this gossip mongering.

I always thought this was just a bollocks gossip story anyway, nothing more.
Whatever your reasons for not liking Craig as Bond, some bullsh!t story like this should not be one of them.
Of course, it GossipCop's word against the Enquirer's. But the rebuttal sounds more plausible than the original story to me. Straight people do go to gay bars, in fact I know some who prefer them, as they say the atmosphere is more relaxed than that of a typical British pub at closing time, where the mixture of testosterone and booze often leads to violence.

Nobody was using it as one but at least we could discuss it. Gossip cop was an old report I don't find any more reliable than the ones making allegations. Although as some have said no pictures hurt the Enquirer claim.
Bloody Enquirer. Could still be true and they could still be sued. Whatever, fuckem. Lauer and Craig can share a lawyer.
About the 2006 gay rumors you've got to remember despite deep desire of Craig fanboys to write off the stories as CnB inventions there were actually part of activist advocacy groups push to bring attention to gay rights. They were pushing the same type of stories about Superman Returns, those stories stuck to Superman like blue tights, why did the stories stick on Supes and not Bond, because Supes wears blue f**king tights and has always come off as gay. The stories today are being sensationalized by the same/similar Gay Rights advocates. Doesn't mean it's not true but their motives should be considered. Craig knows he can't go Brokeback Bond, some of his comments in early interviews were suicidal for a new untested actor to run off at the mouth about. Craig doesn't enjoy making Bond movies, doesn't enjoy Bond movies and Bond books in general. He is a miserable git who knows he can't play Bond so he debases the character using only the name and title to make Bourne inspired spy dramas, way off the bloody mark for James Bond 007 of Her Majesty's Secret Service.
what i expect to happen is nothing. I don't particularly think this is a true story. a shocking story thats for sure. now if pictures come out then it is a different story.
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
Responding to outrageous claims legitimizes them. The Real problem I have with his behavior if true is the betrayal and public humiliation of Satsuki Mitchell.
