Veteran actress Honor Blackman, who played the Bond girl in 'Goldfinger' opposite Sean Connery, considers the iconic actor as her favourite.
The 88-year-old actress feels that as compared to the other leads like Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig among others Connery, 83, portrayed James Bond in the best possible way, reported the Daily Express.
"Daniel is a terrific actor but I don't think anyone will be anything like Sean, they're not allowed to be now. The Bond that Ian Fleming wrote, they are not allowed to be now. That Bond was suave, good looking. Sean played him perfectly," Blackman said.
"Dan could do anything but he's not allowed to any more. He has to care about his women - he has to fall in love and Bond never did anything so silly," she added.
