The “Affair” star said he got the idea from his indie film “Colette” where he starred opposite Keira Knightley and Jake Graf, a transgender actor who played a cis male (a person whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth) in the movie.
“Theres a very cool woman whos the wife of an actor in Colette who is a captain in the electrical engineers, the highest-ranking transgender soldier in the army, West said.

Shes a beautiful blonde girl who could be Bond, yes. Thats actually a brilliant idea. They should have a transgender Bond because there are a lot of transgender people in the army. Theyd be ideal because they can do everything, he added.
West was referring to Grafs wife, Hannah Winterbourne, a high-ranking officer in the British Army, who transitioned from male to female.

Fans, meanwhile, want Tom Hardy to replace Craig in the next film and West is okay with that choice too.
“I think Tom Hardy could be a good Bond. Id be happy to see him do it. You need an actor who can put a bit of wiggle into it thats what makes Bond, he said.
Production on Bond 25 kicks off in 2019 with a February 14, 2020 release date in mind.
