Outlander author Diana Gabaldon has endorsed the TV drama’s leading man as the next James Bond, insisting he’d make the perfect 007.
Sam Heughan recently topped a poll of potential Bonds, and Gabaldon, who wrote the Outlander novels, would love to see him in a tuxedo.
“I have seen that Sam is being tipped for James Bond and I think it would be great,” Diana told the Scotsman. “Sam would do a fine job of it.
“There is always a lot of talk every time James Bond changes, so it’s anybody’s guess. But I don’t think he would have to leave Outlander to be James Bond… Outlander is a television show, so it would just be a matter of scheduling.”
Heughan appears to like what the writer said, tweeting: “Cheers Gabs. Or should I say, Moneypenny” – referring to Bond’s secretary pal, currently played onscreen by Naomie Harris.
