When asked about playing Bond, Madden previously told GQ: “Everyone just loves the rumour mill on that topic.
Richard Madden may be one of the favourites to succeed Daniel Craig as 007, but would be willing to play second fiddle to a female version of the British spy.
When asked if he’d be up for playing the main spy’s love interest – a role that’s always been played by a woman – Madden told Vogue: “Absolutely – if it was a good part.”
In October 2018, Madden was reportedly named as one of producer Barbara Broccoli’s favourites to take over from Craig after he steps down.
