Heartstopper's Yasmin Finney Wants To Be First Trans Bond Girl

Yasmin Finney has said she wants to become the first ever openly trans Bond girl, according to NME.

The actor, known for playing Elle Argent in Netflix series Heartstopper, revealed she’s a fan of the franchise in an interview with the Daily Star Sunday. “I love James Bond films,” Finney said. “Every film I’ve seen, I’ve always thought, ‘I’d love to be that cool, sexy Bond girl.’”

Caroline Cossey, also known as Tula, is a trans model and was an extra in the 1981 film, For Your Eyes Only. However, it wasn’t known that she was trans until after the film was released.

Earlier this year, Finney was cast in Doctor Who playing Rose alongside Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education) as the Time Lord. They’ll both make their debut on the show in 2023.

Netflix has commisioned a second and third season of Heartstopper. They made the decision a month after the first season was released. Based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman, the show is a coming-of-age romance which follows the relationship between Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor).

Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond came to an end with last year’s No Time To Die, with a successor yet to be announced.
