Daniel Craig 'looks like he could kill a man' says James Bond co-star Dame Judi Dench (THE TELEGRAPH)

Dame Judi, who plays spymaster M in the film franchise, said Craig was "quite intense" and "fantastic at doing action".

She said that while he retained some of the humour essential to the part, he was a "James Bond for today".
"I also think he feels like a Bond who could kill a man," Dame Judi told November's issue of GQ magazine.
"That was a conscious decision, really, in the same way that you don't talk about Bond girls any more, you talk about Bond women. It's moving with the times."

Craig has been seen as a more menacing version of 007 after the clonking double entendres of earlier films exemplified by the eyebrow-arching Roger Moore.


"He’s very focused on set, very focused indeed. And he’s quite intense. But, as I say, quite funny too, so the tension is never so much that it affects another person.

"Of course, Daniel is fantastic at doing action. When I see so many of the stunts he does, I say, 'You can’t have done that!' And he’ll say, “Yes, I did.” He’s very impressive.
