'I would love to be that cool, sexy Bond girl.'
Finney referenced Caroline Cossey, a trans woman who worked as a model and appeared as an extra in 1981's. Following her appearance in the film, a newspaper publicly revealed Cossey's sexuality, which led her to tell her story in two memoirs and fight for rights in a high-profile court case.
"Shoutout to Caroline," Finney added."She has inspired me in a way to be the positive representation that James Bond never had. There are people in the industry that were transphobic, but now they aren't because of the way things are changing. I'd rather not fight it and be a part of it. "I feel so honoured to be seen as a queer person in general and to be here on the stage is a step forward to opening doors for other trans people in the industry."
