Bond Girl? Daniel Craig In Drag for Women's Equality. Watch the VIDEO!
by Elizabeth Sexton
Daniel Craig has filled the shoes of legendary ladies man, James Bond. Now, in honor of International Women’s Day Tuesday, Craig is rocking footwear of a higher stature.
Craig recently teamed up for a video makeover with EQUALS, an organization of several charities united for gender equality, created by musician Annie Lennox.
The video, which will be shared online and in theatre previews, features the voice of Dame Judi Dench, speaking to Craig as her bond character ‘M.’ She goes on to highlight disparities between men and women, starting with the fact that men are more likely to earn more money than women while doing the same job.
“For someone with such a fondness for women, I wondered if you ever considered what it might be like to be one?” Dench asks 007.
In response, Craig returns in a long blonde wig, wearing a tight Diane VonFurstenburg-type of dress and black stilettos, which we imagine would make his pursuit for villains difficult.
In addition to Craig’s surprising look, the video also shares some eye-opening statistics. For example, two-thirds of work done worldwide is by women, yet they only own 10% of the total income and 1% of property.
