James Bond movies have grown to be one of the most successful movie franchises throughout time. As the movie franchise is currently looking for its lead actor after Daniel Craige has left the role, many actors have been rumoured to appear as 007. The movies have often been called misogynistic and do not show women in the right light. However, the actor once supported a Bond girl’s fight to keep her clothes on in one of his movies.
Women’s representation in Bond movies has always been subject to controversy. As more movies were released, the women in the Bond franchise went through growth and evolution as James Bond himself, being played by several notable actors.
Daniel Craig was not in agreement with the characterization of Bond girls in his movies. His beliefs helped his co-star, who played the Bond Girl, escape a potentially uncomfortable situation. During a conversation with Guardian, Eva Green recalled an incident when she played Vesper Lynd in Craig’s feature Casino Royale. “In the shower scene – you remember? – they wanted me to strip down to my panties. We had a good fight about that. I used to go to Daniel and ask for his support,” said the James Bond actress.
