Bond supremo Barbara Broccoli has a licence to cuddle Hugh Grant

Updated 17:45pm on 18 Jun 2008



She is the ultimate Bond Girl. And when it came to getting up close with Hugh Grant and Daniel Craig yesterday, movie mogul Barbara Broccoli had no competition.

The woman who put Daniel Craig in the spy's shoes got a hug from heart throb Hugh, and a rare smile from 007 himself in London last night.

Mrs Broccoli, producer of Casino Royale and the latest Bond movie, Quantum Of  Solace, was a guest at The Great British Movie Event in Old Billingsgate.

But it was all innocent fun for the daughter of late Bond producer Albert R Broccoli, as she's happily married to producer Frederick Zollo.

She was in town for the fundraiser also attended by stars including Robbie Coltrane and Rowan Atkinson.

If Barbara got so excited to consider Hugh Grant and Daniel Craig to play a role model of James Bond then she should take a look and consider this gentleman as a genuine James Bond (as he had been suggested in the past by several actresses and producers to move to New York to seek such an opportunity to be a Caliber Actor. All the James Bond's physical character and inner spirit are applied to this getleman's personality. I am confident that he also has the spirit of J.J Kennedy Junior as his look is closely resembled of him (in case in the future you are planning to produce a biography movie of J.J Kennedy Junior....and using his great charisma and character to play a such role model.
You may contact me through the provided email address so that I will gladly submit the material needed such as pictures and biography (non commercial)
