Despite her playful request to join the Bond conversation, Brown expressed genuine support for her potential star’s casting. “I don’t like all the competition and speculation.
All that matters is that he’s my James Bond, and whatever it is, the great thing is that they’ll find the right person for him, whatever that is.
