"Max Parker, formerly of Emmerdale and more recently Netflix's military drama, , has been mentioned as a potential candidate, and the idea has received a lot of support already from those on the internet. Parker starred in Boots as Sgt. Sullivan, a tough figure who hides his homosexuality due to it being illegal in the 1990s when the drama is set. The US military ended its ban on gay people serving when president Bill Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was repealed in 2011."
"Posting on Threads on Tuesday (11 November) one person shared an image of a shirtless and ripped Parker from Boots as well as one of the actor's headshots. The person wrote underneath, "I wonder what the public would think if the next James Bond were played by a gay actor, since I can introduce you to one, he's English and still young, try Max Parker ( Boots on Netflix). There is no right or wrong opinions, so just comment down below.""
Max Parker, known for Emmerdale and Netflix's Boots, has been proposed online as a potential next James Bond and has attracted supportive responses. Parker plays Sgt. Sullivan in Boots, a military figure who hides his homosexuality because it was illegal in the 1990s setting. The US military ban on gay service members ended after President Bill Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was repealed in 2011. A Threads post sharing images of Parker prompted commenters to argue that sexual orientation is irrelevant to acting and praised Parker as a strong candidate. Conversations also mention casting lesser-known actors and increasing diversity for Bond.
