LONDON, Sept 22: Veteran actress Judi Dench admits starring opposite Daniel Craig in the recent James Bond movies, such as ‘Skyfall’, has made her feel a bit cool.
The star has appeared as the character M in seven films in the spy series from 1995 to 2012 and is pleased it has introduced her to a younger generation of moviegoers, reported Contactmusic.
“I have a lot of young chaps that ask me for autographs that think I’m a bit cool and that can’t be bad. Maybe they’ll come for the theatre. All I ever feel is that my job is baiting people to come to the theatre. But it’s lovely to have a young audience. Before, they used to say, ‘Could I have your autograph – it’s for my granny’. It’s now, ‘Could I have your autograph – it’s for my 11-year-old son.’ And you think, ‘Oh, it’s very good.'”
Dench, 78, has now stepped down from playing the character, and will miss appearing in the film franchise.
“When they come to do the new film, you bet I’ll miss him.” (PTI)
