Dame Judi Dench thinks all the James Bond actors were "pretty dishy". The 89-year-old actress portrayed the head of MI6, M, in eight Bond movies alongside Pierce Brosnan, 71, and Daniel Craig, 56, as Bond, but she doesn't have a "favourite" and would have loved to have worked with all of them. Oscar-winner Judi recalled how nervous she and Pierce were on their first 007 film, 1995's 'GoldenEye', admitting she can be hard to work with on a movie set because it's not somewhere she feels comfortable.

She told Yours magazine: "When I got offered the part of M, my husband said, 'You've got to do it, I've always longed to live with a Bond woman.' There were no more two frightened people in the whole of my career than me and Pierce Brosnan on set on the first day of GoldenEye. We were shaking.

I was nervous, as M hadn't been played by a woman before, and I'm not an easy person on a set as it's a foreign thing to me." Asked if she has a favourite Bond, she replied: "I don't have a favourite Bond, I thought they were all pretty dishy. I wouldn't have minded playing M to all of them.

" The other Bonds were Sir Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton.
