Helen Mirren’s close friend Judi Dench may have appeared in a whopping eight James Bond movies as the iconic M, but that doesn’t mean the 1923 star is a fan of the franchise.
In a scathing rebuke of the spy movies, Mirren told The Standard her strong opinion of the films.

Mirren, who currently stars opposite former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in MobLand, told the outlet that she “was never a great ward,” of the movies.
“I’m a huge fan of Pierce Brosnan, I mean massive fan. I mean, oh my god. Obviously, he’s gorgeous and everything, and I think he’s fabulous in MobLand, but he also happens to be one of the nicest people you’ll ever have the pleasure to work with,” she said.
“And indeed Daniel Craig, who I’ve met and know a little bit,” Mirren continued. “Again, a very lovely gracious person,” she gushed over the actors who have played the quintessential British spy, before explaining that it’s “not my thing.”
“I never liked James Bond. I never liked the way women were in James Bond. The whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism,” the Oscar winner proclaimed.
“Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been. And very brave. If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they’re amazingly, unbelievably courageous. So I would tell real stories about extraordinary women who’ve worked in that world,” Mirren said.
