“I didn’t like the last Bond film, it was like a long, disjointed commercial,” he said. He also criticised his Bond predecessor, Sean Connery, saying he struggles to understand the actor’s strong Scottish accent. “Sean is a good actor, it’s a pity I can’t understand what he’s saying,” he added. Despite a great career, the actor admits there’s a part he also regrets not landing, the title role in Lawrence of Arabia.
