Daniel Craig would only do a gay scene in the new James Bond movie if he was
guaranteed an Oscar, says his 'Layer Cake' co-star.
Tamer Hassan - who appeared alongside Daniel in Matthew Vaughn's 2004
British gangster film - believes Daniel would get frisky with another man in
upcoming 007 adventure 'Quantum of Solace' if it fulfilled his Academy Award
dream.
"That's Daniel dying for an Oscar. Ever since
'Brokeback Mountain' everyone wants to have a gay scene to win an Oscar.
"You couldn't get me doing that though - my son would never forgive me! I've
got a 16-year-old son, so can you imagine? He would get ridiculed for it.
And he's at a professional soccer club too - can you imagine the dressing
room banter?! So, no, they couldn't get me doing that. They can keep the
Oscar and I'll keep my virginity!"
Tamer - who can soon be seen in Hammer Films' first movie for 30 years,
'Beyond The Rave' which is to be broadcast on myspace.tv - also said he is
keen to play Bond when the producers look beyond Daniel.
The 'Eastern Promises' star, whose parents are of Turkish-Cypriot descent,
added: "I would love to be Bond. But I don't think they are ready to put a
Turkish man in a 007 suit yet. If they do change their minds I'm sure I will
be one of the first ones in the hat."
