James Bond actor Daniel Craig has dressed in drag for a short film about sexual equality made to coincide with International Women's Day on Tuesday.
The film, available on YouTube here is directed by “Nowhere Boy” film maker and artist Sam Taylor-Wood and features the voice of actress Judi Dench in the style of “M,” her spymaster character in the Bond movie franchise.
The script asks a besuited Craig-as-Bond a series of questions about issues facing women including pay inequality and domestic violence. Craig, who is silent throughout, then appears in a long blonde wig, knee-length dress and women's shoes as Dench reads a list of statistics designed to underline the extra hurdles women face in today's society.
