If You Imagined A Flaming Gay James Bond, Who Would It Be?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Is Nathan Lane our only choice?

[Heidi]

1. Harvey Fierstein.

I adore the man.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Oh yeah - forgot about him!

[Heidi]

3. I'm just waiting for someone to say:

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. He's not a flamer, though. He's just an abnormal talentless shitbag.

[Heidi]

5. To be perfectly honest . . .

I don't know for a fact that Nathan Lane and Harvey Fierstein are gay, either. :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. They are.

That is definitely fer sure, and all.

[Heidi]

7. I trust you on this one.

I have no gaydar. I love 'em both.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. It's not so much the gaydar, but that they are both very much out

Though, oddly enough, I do seem to have a somewhat decent gaydar. And even without them outing themselves, I'd be saying, "Oh yeah, they be it, baby".

[Allenberg]

20. Sean Hayes

9. Serious Answer - Ian McKellan

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Oh, yeah!! Fucking brilliant!

He'd be AWESOME!

26. Rupert Everett info.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000391/

Writes for "Vanity Fair".

Former, successful model in Milan.

Speaks English, French & Italian.

Lives in London, New York, Paris & Miami.

Owns a Black Lab, named Moise.

6' 4", brown eyes/hair

Bought a home in Los Angeles for his dog's sake. His black Lab, Moise, was suffering from painful arthritis, so the actor relocated to the city in order for his beloved pet to heal. Everett even turned down a role on the London stage, because it meant having to have his dog quarantined for six months.


British-born Rupert Everett grew up in privileged circumstances, but the wry, sometimes arrogant intellectual was a rebel from the very beginning. At the age of 7, he was placed into the care of Benedictine monks at Ampleforth College where he trained classically on the piano. He was expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London for clashing with his teachers, and instead apprenticed himself at the avant-garde Glasgow Citizen's Theater in Scotland, performing in such productions as `Don Juan' and `Heartbreak House'.

In 1984, Everett successfully filmed a lead role in, Another Country (1984), which he had performed earlier on stage, and shot to international attention, becoming one of England's hottest new star. But, again, the wickedly sharp and suave rebel doused his own fire by clashing with the press and even with his own fans. In 1989, Everett openly declared his own homosexuality -- an announcement that could have mortally wounded his film career. Instead, over time, it seems to have had the opposite effect. His career revitalized as Julia Roberts' gay confidante in My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and he has continued to impress notably in the classics area with Shakespeare in Love (1998) (as Christopher Marlowe), An Ideal Husband (1999) and A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) (as Oberon). Lately he has enhanced both films, with his royal portrayals in To Kill a King (2003) and Stage Beauty (2004), and television, with his effortlessly suave Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004) (TV). His predilection for smug and smarmy villains of late, such as the cartoonish Dr. Claw in Inspector Gadget (1999) has extended into voice animation with his "unprincely" Prince Charming character in Shrek 2 (2004).

In making his landmark decision to "come out," Rupert becomes a living testament disproving the theory that a truly talented and successful romantic leading man cannot survive the career-killing stigma of being openly gay.

18. Scott Thompson!! as the gay James Bond!!

Of Kids in the Hall fame.

And he's CANADIAN!! That means huge marketing advantages in Canada. And, we could shoot in Toronto.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. And Bond could be in search of the Prime Minister's stolen beer and toque!

That'd be cool, eh!

[SoCalDem]

23. Richard Simmons?

[EFerrari]

24. My friend X

He's a fine figure of a man, a red head and the most masculine man I've ever met.

Nobody could carry his lunch on their best day.
