Outlander author would love to see TV drama’s star as James Bond

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.
