James Bond should stop womanising and get married, says former 007 star

Trina Parks, who played assassin Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever, said the new 'James' should be a one-woman man who has to prove his worth to his new love

007 should be stripped of his licence to flirt - and settle down with one woman, a former Bond girl reckons.

Trina Parks, who starred alongside Sean Connery as assassin Thumper in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, reckons the new James Bond should get hitched to a long-term partner to reflect the modern world.

Parks said she hopes new franchise chief Amazon MGM will drag the secret agent - and his girls - into the modern world.

She said: Of course I would like them to keep the romance in. But perhaps not give him a multitude of partners.

The script really has to reflect the modern world where women are stronger characters and hold powerful positions.

The actress - the first African American to play a Bond girl - said women cast in the upcoming 007 film should not just roll over into bed with the spy.

I want this new movie to place women as Bond's equal and address the way the world is, she said.

Parks said any new Bond girl should be a match both physically and emotionally for the spy.

Amazon is hunting for a new actor to play Bond after Daniel Craig and has enlisted the help of Brit casting veteran Nina Gold.

She was nominated for an Oscar for her work in the movie Hamnet and was also involved in Game of Thrones, The Crown and The Day of the Jackal.

A host of actors including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 36, Callum Turner, 36, and Harris Dickinson, 30, have been tipped as potential Bonds.

Parks wants Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, who is writing the new 007, to include a female character similar to Halle Berry's Jinx in 2002's Die Another Day.

The ex-Broadway dancer, now 79, said: I don't want the women to just fall into bed with him because he is good-looking.

It should be a female who he has got to prove that he is worthy of being her bed partner. Of course audiences want to see seduction and that vintage flavour but the women need to be on an equal footing.

Trina said there was still a place for Bond in the modern world.

They can reshape the films again for a new generation. Of course youre going to have new and young people, but they need to keep it going, she added.
