Tristan Tate threatens to boycott 'James Bond' if non-White actors play iconic detective role
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Tristan Tate is back with some more controversy! Recently, Andrew Tate's brother made a contentious claim on Twitter. The Tate brothers have a long history of careless behavior, including using racial slurs online.
Tristan tweeted that if a Black actor plays the title role in the new 'James Bond' film, he will boycott it. This comes days after he called Zendaya a 'frog'.
‘White male James Bonds only’
In a tweet on Sunday, June 25, Tristan said, “White male James Bonds only. Anything else I boycott.” He was replying to a tweet by @RevyXV which said, “Honestly @TateTheTalisman had the best take about race/sex changing James Bond a couple months ago & I 100% agree with him.”
White male James Bonds only.

'I am with ya on that one man'
Surprisingly, fans flocked to Twitter to support Tristant. A fan said, “I am with ya on that one man. There are countless historical figures similar to James Bond in terms of integrity of character; that directors could draw inspiration from. I don’t understand if it’s a lack of historical awareness/knowledge that is preventing this, or pure laziness.” Another fan added, “Tristan you must be the next James Bond, it would be epic because your actually him in real life.” A third fan commented on his tweet and said, “Hasn’t worked for Dr Who so why would they think it would work for James Bond?” whereas someone said, “The character is meant to be white. The story was written this way. We can’t let these wokeys get in the way of truth.”

‘There could be a black James Bond’
The forthcoming James Bond has drawn the attention of a large number of stars. Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and other well-known Hollywood actors have been suggested by fans, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. One of these individuals was being considered to succeed 007 even before Daniel Craig's tenure with the 'James Bond' movie ended.
According to Naomie Harris, a former Bond girl who starred with Daniel Craig in 'Skyfall' (2012) and claimed that he might be the next and the first Black James Bond, the 'Beast' star has met the 'James Bond' producer.
“I didn’t realize that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris and he said that he met Barbara Broccoli and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a black James Bond,” she said, according to Fandomwire.
Elba did meet Barbara Broccoli, the producer of the James Bond films, but rumours have it that they didn't discuss the adventure movies. Though he takes the position of Craig, fans are still excited about him since he might be the first Black James Bond.
