7 Lebanese People Who Would Make Good Bond Villains

We showed you which Lebanese people we thought would make the best James Bonds, now we’ll show you the seven who would make for the greatest Bond villains (and it was tough to pick just 7).


1. Najib Mikati

Being a billionaire Prime Minister from the country’s poorest city is enough to turn anyone into a villain, but when we add the fact that Mikati is both tall and bald, that makes him one of the most devious opponents Bond could face.




2. Riad Salameh

Sitting at the top of his glass pyramid, Salameh laughs maniacally as Bond is tied onto a bed of Lebanese liras. He’ll demand $70 billion from the UK to free him, but not to fix BdL’s deficit, just for the lolz.




3. Elie el Ferzli

Elie el Ferzli has all the tools to believe he could defeat Mr. Bond. No longer an MP or deputy speaker, he only has time on his hand to build a secret West Bekaa lair that will be able to trap Bond.




4. Fadi el Khatib

Beloved basketball player Fadi el Khatib is known for his three pointers on the field, so no one would expect his heel turn serving the evil ambitions of SPECTRE.




5. Najwa Karam’s husband

Allegedly.




6. Nouh Zaiter

Drug kingpins often make for the most fearsome of enemies, can Bond manage to Bond himself out of a hash farm or will he be smoked by the Zaiter clan.




7. Salim Sfeir

The slimy little man who leads Lebanon’s Association of Banks has done much evil in his time, will he be able to give Bond a haircut or will he go for a freeze ray to carry out his evil plans?

And we can’t forget that he once dressed like this.
