How you doing? Well, I mean, Madeleine is a great character,
and when I was growing up, the only kind of constant around
James Bond really were kind of.
Q, and maybe M. The most surrounding characters would would change
if each passing production, especially the female characters.
You must be so thrilled that Madeleine is still here
because she's seems such a great fun to play character.
Yes. Yes. It was great to to to be back with Madeleine.
And I thought that Spectre was Daniel [Craig]'s last film.
So when they called me to come back, I was extremely happy.
And this time, I think that I've like
I had the possibility to explore a bit more this character.
And it's it will be very emotional, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
You said it's quite a moving film and one that you cried at.
What is it about this particular entry
into the James Bond franchise that you found so profound?
I think that first, like Daniel really like
and he bring like more depth to his character
and and he changed James Bond.
He he um, he's yeah.
He's more like vulnerable.
And I guess people can relate to him,
you know, and because of that, because he's like this
superhero, he's got those superpowers, but
also he has flaws .
And so I was I was happy to come back with Madeleine because I guess it's
what they they wanted to do as well with my character.
And so we get to know her a bit more.
And in that sense, it's quite new that we get to know, like
we get to know a bit more about
a female character,
of course. And she's a consultant in psychiatry.
I do believe that actors would make quite good psychiatrists.
I guess you spend so much of your life
trying to get into the head and understand what it is to be to be someone else.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, I don't think that you are someone else.
Um, because in a way, you always play
with your own emotions and you play with your your body.
But it's true that
for me, cinema is a way to to question the world.
And so to question like, um,
you know, uh, sentiments.
And so it's it's kind of um. Yeah.
In a way it's you have to go through a
an inner journey. Yeah.
And you mentioned that of James Bond being like a superhero.
And it seems that Daniel Craig is almost super grounded.
I mean, there's that video that was released
this week of him thanking the kind of cast and crew.
And I know that seems like an obvious thing to do,
but a lot of kind of central characters
in a huge franchise might not find the time to kind of
to be that collaborative with everyone around them. Well,
have you taken away from your experience shooting these movies with Daniel?
Um, yes. Um, yeah.
Then Daniel is um, he's very uh I guess of course
is not like obviously he's not James Bond and it's a character that he's playing.
But um, he gave James Bond some of his um,
he gave a substance, a substantial like.
And I think that,
uh, Daniel is very sensitive
and um and so he really like
created this character with
with like more emotion. Yeah.
And and I think that's what people loved about him.
And also, yeah. As you said, like he's more grounded.
Um, there is something more tangible about, about him, about this character.
Yeah, he'll be missed. Anyway, thank you so much for your time, Lea.
