Craig, who plays the latest incarnation of the debonair spy 007 in the film franchise, wears a blond wig, high heels and a wrap dress in an ad for WeAreEquals.org as part of International Women's Day, reports the New York Daily News.



Dame Judy Dench, who plays Bond's boss M in the film series, narrates the ad with an array of statistics.

Dench points out the fact that this year, women are still paid less than men and are victims of physical and sexual violence as well as damaging sexual double standards in the workplace and the media.
