Judi Dench spoiled by James Bond
OHMYGOSSIP — Judi Dench says she feels “spoiled” to have starred in seven James Bond films. The actress, who played M in the British spy franchise from 1995′s GoldenEye until 2012′s Skyfall, says she couldn’t have asked for a better career opportunity.
During a recent interview, Judi was asked how she felt when she was told Sam Mendes‘ Skyfall would be her last 007 film.
“Fury,” she said. “You know, I had a wonderful time, but you have to be realistic. Would MI6 really not have given me the push by now? I’ve given it a good go. I had four films with Pierce Brosnan, three with Daniel Craig. Pretty spoiled, I reckon.
“There aren’t [enough roles], considering the amount of people who are my age. But then there never have been. Look at Shakespeare: there aren’t enough women parts in Shakespeare. You feel very, very lucky if you get to play any. You feel very lucky indeed.”
