The rest of the world seems as excited and pleased by the election of Barack Obama as most of the U.S. 
James Bond star Daniel Craig gave Obama a ringing endorsement, and even went so far as to say that the next actor to play the role of Bond should be black.
On the day history was made with the election of the first U.S. black president, actor Daniel Craig has said the next James Bond star should also be black.
Speaking at the opening of Quantum of Solace at the International Film Festival in Rome, Craig sang the praises of America’s president-elect, saying the moment has now arrived for a black 007 too.
Addressing reporters on the red carpet, the 40-year-old said: ‘If we can have a black US president we can have a black James Bond.’
Clearly having being swept away by Obama mania, Craig added: ‘This is as significant as when man landed on the moon.
‘The Obama election is a wake up call for the whole world.
‘I’m a real fan of Obama because I like his political ideas. And I think it’s the right moment for a black James Bond.’

It’s not a bad idea – but I hope Daniel isn’t planning to give up the role any time soon, because he is damn good at it. He’s also quite easy on the eyes. However, if he did ever decide to pass the torch, which black British actor would be a good candidate?
