The Nabeel Qureshi as James Bond Meme
nabeelqu · x · 2026-07-20
This repost plays on a "cross-racial casting" meme: Tyler Cowen half-jokingly suggested in an article that **Nabeel Qureshi** could play the next James Bond. The screenshot highlights a few reasons: he has a British accent, was born in England, is tall, and looks good; it adds that he is spy-like enough and young enough to do action scenes without looking absurd. The punchline is that it abruptly turns a serious casting discussion into a cultural moment of "Qureshi playing Bond."
