Judi Dench kept in the dark over the Queen's Bond girl role at Olympic gig

London, August 21 (ANI): Dame Judi Dench was stunned to see her James Bond co-star Daniel Craig appear alongside the Queen at the Olympic opening ceremony.

As the spymaster M, you would think that she is well aware of what James Bond gets up to.

Still, Craig, managed to keep one mission secret from her.

While Dame Judi is an intimate of the actor and loves to gossip with him between takes on the Bond films, he didn't even breathe so much as a whisper to her about how he would be appearing beside the Queen in Danny Boyle's filmed sequence for the Olympics opening ceremony, the Telegraph reported.

"She had absolutely no idea that they were doing it," Finty Williams, Dame Judi's daughter by the late Michael Williams, told the publication.

"She thought it was brilliant and hilarious when she saw it."

The opening ceremony saw the actor star with the Queen in a short caper that culminated in her stunt double jumping from a helicopter close to the stadium.

At the time of filming, Craig had been working with Dame Judi on Skyfall. (ANI)
