Bond girl Honor Blackman has revealed that she thinks Sean Connery is the "ultimate James Bond".
The 88-year-old actress said that Daniel Craig can't be the true super spy that Ian Fleming intended as he isn't allowed to bring out the character's dark side, the Daily Express reported.
She stated that the Bond that Ian Fleming wrote was suave and good looking, and Connery played that role perfectly.
Blackman added that the 83-year-old actor could make people believe that he would bed a woman and then calmly put a bullet through her head and have a martini without being bothered about it.
