Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Craig personally, and I can attest that he is not only a talented actor but also a genuinely kind and gracious individual.

She added: “The entire James Bond series didn’t appeal to me at all. Not by a long shot. I’ve never been fond of James Bond, and I’ve always found the portrayal of women in the series problematic.
