Heartstopper and Doctor Who star, Yasmin Finney, has a dream of becoming the first trans Bond girl. “I would love to be a trans Bond girl or just a Bond girl in general.

I love James Bond,” she said in an interview with the British newspaper the Mirror.The 18-year-old continued by sharing her love for the James Bond franchise, saying, “Every time I watch a Bond film, I think I would love to be that cool, sexy Bond girl that has never been done before.”Caroline Cossey, an extra in the 1981 Bond film, For Your Eyes Only, was also an inspiration for the young actress.

Yasmin went on to tell Mirror, “Shoutout to Caroline. She has inspired me in a way to be the positive representation that James Bond never had.” Cossey has shared her experience as one of the first trans women in the entertainment industry.

Shortly after starring in the Bond movie and her subsequent feature in Playboy, Cossey was outed as trans by a tabloid. However, the pressure and the discrimination she faced from being under the public eye was almost too much for Cossey.
