No Time To Die will be releasing in November after its release was delayed due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic. Amidst the news of the film’s release, it was reported that James Bond will also be a father in the new James Bond movie.

The latest person to join this conversation is none other than Britt Ekland. Ekland is an ex-Bond girl who played the role of Goodnight in Man With The Golden Sun.

During the interview, Britt Ekland was also asked if this new plotline taints this James Bond fantasy. Britt agreed and said she personally thinks it ruins the character’s storyline over the years. Moving on, No Time Is Die is Daniel Craig’s last film as the British spy. After talking about the plotline, Britt Ekland was asked about who could be the next James Bond.

Britt Ekland cracked a joke at this question and said that she and Piers Morgan (the host of the TV show) will definitely not be picked. She also added the reason for not being chosen as the next Bond is the result of all the quarantine kilos being put on during the ongoing pandemic.
