He says: "I walked away at first because I didn't see myself doing it, I genuinely thought they were having a bit of a giggle ... I knew we had to do something different, now we've got a chance to push that on a bit.

"It's a very old story, they're great yarns, he knows where the bad guys are and goes and gets them."

How many more Bonds?: "Until they tell me to stop. I want to get the next one right and we'll go from there. I'm free to do what I want but I've got no plans to stop."

And when he's not filming?: "I watch everything on TV but reality shows, I don't get a kick out of them ... [although] I might end up doing one, but that's something else."
