Meghan Markle finds herself in the crosshairs of ridicule, accused of harboring delusions, following a recent report suggesting she was primed to become Daniel Craig's next Bond girl.
As per The Express, Meghan, once on the brink of gracing the James Bond franchise alongside Craig, saw her dreams dashed after her engagement to Prince Harry dealt the final blow. It's rumored that Meghan caught the discerning eyes of James Bond producers following her role as Rachel Zane in "Suits," where she exuded the aura of a quintessential Bond girl.
Alongside her, Ileisha Haidera from Baywatch fame was also reportedly in contention for the role of 007's love interest. However, the 2021 installment, "No Time to Die," saw Léa Seydoux reprise her role as Bond's romantic foil, while Ana de Armas made a brief yet memorable cameo. Naomi Harris portrayed Eve Moneypenny, and Lashana Lynch took on the role of the new 007, Nomi.
Reflecting on Meghan's potential Bond future in 2017, an insider from the film industry remarked that Meghan embodied the essence of a Bond girl flawlessly—glamorous, alluring, and talented. The role typically gravitates towards emerging stars, a label Meghan firmly held until her relationship with Harry thrust her into the spotlight.
She had been shortlisted alongside four other actresses, with "Bond 25" in mind. Yet, the revelation of her engagement swiftly relegated her from contention, signaling the end of her acting endeavors. Naturally, this sparked a flurry of reactions from Royal enthusiasts on social media, with one asserting that Megan's ascent to Bond girl status was far-fetched, citing her alleged reliance on cosmetic enhancements and questionable acting prowess.
Critics voiced their skepticism, dismissing the notion of an almost 50-year-old Meghan as a Bond girl, a role traditionally associated with youth, beauty, and talent—qualities they contend she lacks. The timing of these revelations raised eyebrows, with many questioning why this information is surfacing only now. Some even suggested that Meghan might exploit this narrative to bolster her victimhood status.
However, public statements from the producers refuted any claims of Meghan's involvement, affirming their pursuit of younger, more conventionally attractive candidates for the coveted role. In light of these revelations, one can only imagine Daniel Craig's reaction, perhaps finding humor in Meghan's purported delusions.
